Post by: R444WRR on July 25, 2011, 12:44:59 pm: Everything was sprayed. The stripe was easy, undo the two bolts hold it on, clip out the strip, do the spray prep and what not, clip back on!

Post by: JoeDarKa on July 29, 2011, 12:13:32 pm: How did you remove the interior strips? Was it a dash and door card removal job? Cheers!
Title: Re: Bit of work yesterday
Post by: R444WRR on July 29, 2011, 12:29:37 pm: No need to remove door cards!

Little flat head above strips use something to protect things from scratching
