Removing roof strips\holders?

[bugmenot]

Hi, just had my Fabia's roof gloss black wrapped with vinyl. It looks wicked but the only problem is that the right roof rack/holder is spot on! But the left one is all scratched and clips have snapped due to removing to put the wrap behind it.

Does anyone know how you remove them?

As I am going to buy a new trim or a set from skoda.

Many thanks

I am sure that they should easily lift up from either end and clipback into place with litte drama. I use this method to replace the roof rack cover clips as they tend to break when trying to fit them from above.

Yh managed to get them out! Only reason I wanted them out is to remove roof wrap!!! Paid a bloke £125 for roof done yesterday and it's was a right Bodge! Found out he is a cowboy and been ripping people of! Got it booked in to a proper car wrapped for £90!! :/

Any tips for removal?

 

Is it just a matter of pulilng at them, mine keep popping up at either end so i want to try to keep them down.

I just got a piece of thin wood and wedged it down the edge and popes one end up and then worked my way down! Try using a butter knife. I started from the front wind screen.
