Ive been wanting to remove the trims form the door and rear quatre's but im a little confused. I hear a few people saying its only held on by glue and that some fuel and a rag or good tar remover will have it looking smooth and clean then some others say on their corsa side trims they are held on by glue and clips that would need filling and smoothing out?

Anyone now what my 1.2 16v SXI trims are held on by??? many thanks

All corsa door mouldings are held on by just glue, never any clips, just take them off mate and with some patience remove the glue as you said then give it a good polish

Ive never heard of any corsa b ones having clips. To remove mine i got my nectar card and slid that along behind it and then used petrol to get the glue off. Mines a sport though. One thing to bear in mind is has the car had any resprays as somebody previous had just masked the strip off leaving me with a lighter grey stripe so i had to get it re sprayed.

no theres no clips, they are held on my glue, easiest way to remove them is by heating them first with a hairdryer and peel them gently, then remove the glue in the same way
