More trim removal
I was in the process of removing the long chrome trim piece across the top of the boot lid, (the part with the boot opening button and licence plate lights in) and after removing the lining from the inside, I found that the fixings inside are a little awkward to get at, but more importantly, they are like nothing I have seen before! I was expecting a simple nut, but instead, found what looks like a twisted metal/aluminium strip, wound around the bolt. The attached picture may help to explain better. Does anybody have any experience with removing same? I was also wondering could the existing arrangement be replaced with a simpler nut and bolt type arramgement. At present, the chrome strip doesn't sit as tight against the bodywork as I'd like, allowing the ingress of water. Any thoughts? Thanks.
