Gday All
I need some advice on how to remove and refit the paint seperators (between taillights and bumper) on an FC sedan.
How are they attached?
Dont want to damage them while removing...
thanks

These chrome pieces have tabs that insert into slots, they then fold over the panel joint to hold them in place.
Take a look in the boot below the taillights and you will see the tabs folded over.
Be careful straightening then, as they sometimes break when folded too many times.

Thanks, Alex :)
My car is at the painters; he rang asking if I knew how to remove them - bit hard to investigate when the car is nowhere near me!
I'll ring him and pass on your much-appreciated advice.

After straightening, gently tap from the rear. If you prise them from the front, they will possibly break off.

Ken,
Thanks for that very good advice :)
cheers, jack
when you do straighten the tabs lightly tap them half way out then tap them back in
do this a couple of times and it will loosen them up better
Thanks, Greg :)
That's the very best thing about this forum - so much great practical advice, all for the asking!
cheers, jack
