A pillars
I bought my astina last Monday, it's an awesome little car & ****s on my last one but I don't have any A pillar strips which just looks tacky.
I've tried the wreckers without luck. Short of taking them of someone else's car, which is a bit mean. Lol. Does anyone have a tried & tested option? I've read the sticky tread & come up empty. |

Yes. Seen people use the original clips and make then out of metal and paint them black.

I find tonnes down in Adelaide wrecking yards, removing them without breakage is the hard part..

I'm just putting this out there........
The trick is.... after removing the one black tapping screw at the top, pull them up along the pillar towards top of roof - they should slide off NOT pull off outwards. I've been reading on here that people just say "pull them off" which is wrong. That's how one breaks the clip retainers on the back of the mouldings. Slide them up slowly using a bit of downward pressure at the same time. |
