Roof trims...anyone changed them themself?

derin100 · 14-03-2011, 10:55 PM

Strangely it's only on one side...but my passenger side roof trim is bubbling under the black paint ( the driver's side looks pristine and there's no warranty record of it having ever been changed).

Looking at the warranty exclusions these would appear to be excluded although I am aware that in the past they were replaced under 'goodwill' (like kick-plates).

At over 7 years down the line 'goodwill' gestures may no longer exist so I was wondering if anyone had replaced one themself and if so was it difficult and how much was the part?

TIA

You mean the roof rails?

Easy to change, held on partially by double sided tape and partially by clips.
