Re: How to remove mk2 roof gutter trim
ideally you need ot carefully remove the end peices that slot into the main peice and onto a metal bit on the roof.
then you just prise the trim out carefully off the roof rail thats under the trim.
the plastic will be brittle so take your time.

Re: How to remove mk2 roof gutter trim
I have always done it as one piece, they slide either forwards or backwards(can't remember which way, it's been a while) onto a kind of mushroom shaped post. They can be a bit tight to get moving and will break if you are too rough with them.

Figured it out last weekend luckily.
Just got a trim tool underneath at the back and slowly worked it out from the back to the front.
