A quick way to replace targa trims

I,d got all new trims from Luke at the Z Centre and he did say the targa,s are a real P.I.N.T.A to strip down to fit the new trims so i sussed out an easier way.

Remove the inner trim and the old outer trim which will leave it,s clips behind as they,re screwed from behind , i put a few bits of masking tape inside adjacent to where the clips sit , using a large pair of mole grips or something similer , put a drop of paint on one end , now position the other end on the remains of the clip , pull the molegrips closed until you get a paint mark on the inside of the trim , this is now right over the head of the screw .

I used a Forstener bit as it drills a flat hole but and large drill or small hole cutter would work , carefully drill through the plastic inner revealing the screw heads , remove the old screws and clips and fit the new trim with a drop of sealer on the base os the clips to stop any water ingress , piece of pi55.

BTW he did say not to try and bang the new trim onto the old clips as the little barbs would have sheared off when removing the old trim and the new one will never sit right .HTH :wink:
