Exterior Rear Window Trim
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
On my 08 S Type, the chrome molding above the right door window is loose from at the top. I can see the plastic portion of three of the clips that appear to have released from the chrome strip. Questions: can the plastic be reattached to the trim and how does the entire trim piece detach from it's location

hi. older post, but a couple questions on same issue (black plastic, however, just need to re-attach with new clips). I read the forum FAQ and clear enough; can easily get trim off.
first, is there an online source for the clips? a search using the supplied part number and/or any other description did not produce any.
second, the existing clips are old and brittle and break in pieces; any tips on pulling them out? tried with pliers and just get chips of plastic.
thanks.

The clips have a round dowel in the middle that locks them in place. It's not real obvious and several people have cut this off as they did not understand it's function.

I had to reinstall my trim as well. Finally purchased my clips from my local Jag dealer. 50 pieces for $22.37. Joycesjag is correct, just push the round dowel in the center of the clip, it will fall into the body cavity and the clip will come right out with a pair of needle nose pliers. Good luck
