Yeah, if it's dry, it won't hurt. I rolled w/o my roof trim for a couple of years :thumb:

I removed my side window trim the other day. I used a skinny putty knife to lift the trim from the outside, locate the white clips, then use the putty knife or thin flat head screw driver, and push into the clip towards the car, wile doing that, push down on the trim, then pull up, and it should come right out with out chipping or breaking the clip. I believe there is 4 per side. I had to do it this way, because it did not want to slide out like people said they would. I'll take pics tomoro.

Does anyone know where I can buy these new in Australia? mine are unfortunately unressurectable. .
I'm in Aus and have a 95 Civic sedan, which I've just started working on, and any advice is greatly appreciated!

very beautiful job i have done atleast 5 sets of these but they never turn out quite as nice as yours. The crevice on mine always looks a tad janky if your real close. I break atleast two clips on every car a buddy of mine bought me a huge pack (50) on ebay to do his moldings for free lol :thumb:

So in order to remove them I have taken the interior panel off. And i have tried sliding them aft. They wont come off. Does the window need to be down to get these silly things off?
