IanMc Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hi All, Could somebody tell me how you remove the 'H' style trim clips please - the ones that look like this: I have these on my OSF wing - but the rest of the car is fitted with the ones I expected to find - like this: Thanks in advance everyone.

KAA Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hi Ian, Try using a small pin punch to drift out the centre pin. I seem to remember these clips were used on replacement panels which did not have the welded trim pins like original factory-fit clips. Maybe means the car has had a replacement wing at some time. The clips probably have a spigot which fits into a drilled hole on the wing - the centre pin spreads the spigot to lock it into place. If you drift it right through the clip should release. Then catch the pin to re-use later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
