Title: Removing sill trims
Post by: JDM82 on 05 December 2010, 22:33

Ive bought some anni GTi sill trims and you are supposed to remove the original trims or the new ones wont stick properly. Has anyone got these and how do you go about fitting them?

Glad i have seen your post jon  :wink: iirc the old ones can be heated with a hairdryer etc and gently removed once warm then your new ones applied to the area where your oem ones were,if i get down to you before christmas if you like we can fit them then if you like mate  :wink:

Matt is spot on - go over the trims with a hairdryer for approx 5 minutes then use a flat blade like a knife (be careful!) and you'll be able to peel them away  :smiley:
