      Thanks for watching, paint prep is key if you are doing that as the paint doesn’t stick easily to them otherwise more people would have done it, I tried and failed. Back to tape for me

    Just a quick heads up:. The front windshield clips are going to snap in half left and right. Go ahead and order a minimum of 4 trim inserts (part number 51317111933) and maybe a few of the retaining clips, they don't break as easily. The door panels rear panels and hatch trim did not have nearly as many problems and were actually pretty easy.

    • @tweedbean

      Only thing you have to be careful is breaking the clips as these cars are getting old so all the plastic clips under the glass can snap. Not sure how easy they are to replace.

    I remember on my R53 (rip) a decent amount of the clips were broken... you'd have to remove the glass to replace those.... I think.

      I actually replaced a couple under the windscreen. I couldn’t fit them as they are as like you say you would need to remove the glass, so I actually dremeled the back edge of the clip slightly and it slid right under the glass 👍🏼
