- Sun Dec 21, 2014 9:23 pm #350524 Im guessing this is general knowledge but i wanted to be cautious.I have a 1992 hatch tried to get the roof molding off and doing what everyone says sliding and lifting, two still broke. I can see that the roof clips sorda slide in and out but look like thy are glued in with seam sealer?

How should I go about removing them just slowly cut some of the seam sealer off? and keep slightly pushing on it? I saw a thread about a year ago about replacing them for eg or maybe eks . It had photos etc. but i cannot find it for the life of me now. If someone knows about that thread i would be thankful for a link i just cant seem to get the broken ones out

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!
