gutter strips removal / Refitting

[shanks]

Afternoon
I seem to have a dented roof gutter strip (above the rear window) on my 182.
Had anybody had any experience of removing them?
Looks like the seal underneath can be removed with the strip.
Cheers

Push the towards the boot, then prise them up with a butter knife or something that won't scratch the paint, they're only clipped in.

Cheers , do you know if Renault do a replacement part ?

Yes they do.
And I can guarantee the clips will break, so you will need some of those as well.

Thanks you gents

Holy thread bump Batman!!

How many clips are on each side?

I still need to know the above, so if anyone can let me know please.

Also, what is the likelihood of bending them when I get them off? I need to paint them (or get them painted) along with the rear spoiler.
