Default How to: "Newbie" question... #SorryNotSorry

Supz?

I want to remove the trim going along my roof stretching from my roof all the way to the trunk... I figured others might want to learn how... Im doing it because i want to wrap my roof gloss black (to preserve that beautiful rare gray-with-green-purple-flake color).

I have an idea on how to do it but I'm not going further until i know exactly how... It might snap and id cry like a lil beach on my driveway.

(in the picture i am pulling it towards me)

Thanks

ps... i know my car is dirty

You just have to start at one end and pull straight up. There are 8-10 clips running the length of that piece. I have found its easier to start at the back and work forward.

Kinda, it basically twists a little by itself when you start, then after the back comes loose, it's just straight up.
