Default Drip Rail Molding Question

Has anyone removed these? If so, did they come off without damage and do you have any tips? Thanks.

Yes they come off with a little pressure. Are held on with removable friction spring like things. The rubber is also replaceble.

they just pop off. use a flathead screwdriver with a rag wrapped around the tip to protect the paint.

I find it easier to start at the rear of the rail. To get it started I use a small screwdriver covered with tape so I don't scratch the car. Pry up and it will pop loose. The rest can be manipulated by hand until the rail is free from the car.

Once you get the rear clip poped, use a small flatblade to push down the others, they will "unlock" You'll see when you get in there.
