Roof Rail Thingys

Is it possible to take them off, if so how?

Figured I'd check first before i started pulling at them :P

[Hoops]

They are just clipped down. Start at one end and prise them up. Even if you do snap a clip i reckon you can get them from Vauxhall.

Yea they pull off, there's a button just behind the lights that you press to release a catch then you can pull them off

Just thinking about painting them, also want to get all the dirt that sits in the gap that I can't get at.

i also want to get mine colour coded. but do you think it will look better if i get the whole thing colour coded i.e. all the way down the windscreen, or just along to roof till you get to the windscreen. cos its two different sections. anyone even know what im on about? lol

I know what you mean.

I was just going to spray mine black as opposed to colour coding.
I would presume that the ones down the side of the windows come off the same as the ones on the roof, but I dont know.

You are correct.

Same for painting as anything else?

Or do you need to do something else with them being textured?

So they just prize of with a driver? Whats all this about a button near the lights? I want to take mine off to give them a clean and to get all the polish of them.

Start at the back, theres a slider, slide it and it clips towards the front of the car so that they can start to be prised up. Dont need a screw driver. Fingertips will be fine!

Ok mate. Thanks. Think I'll remove mine to give it all a clean. Ktlstar and I we're thinking about getting them Colour Coded, but think will look odd without the rest colour coded.
