jim, Payment recieved and dropped in the post today, many thanks :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

 

Received today, and yes, they do have 3M backing. Look like a good fit, but will wait till tomorrow to stick them on. Many thanks. :thumbs:

 

Don't stick them on in the cold. I think that was my problem! :thumbs:

2) Go back inside in the warm

3) Clean up the pillar cover with alcohol wipes,

4) Remove a small section of the backing from the CF

5) Position

6) Remove a small section of the backing a bit at a time

7) Heat with a hairdryer for maxim stickyness!

8) Go back to car

9) Line up the poppers

10) Tap with the side of your fist till you hear all 3 poppers are back in place

11) Stand back and admire your handy work

I've fallen at the first hurdle - can't get the pillars off the car! They are very reluctant to shift and I am scared to apply too much force in case I break them. :scare:

Did you use some sort of implement to remove them?

I dont think you can remove the orgignal ones from the car, i think that was ment for if you have had some put on, not 100% but me thinks so ...........

 

That's not how the original post reads -

If you have one of those paint pot lid removers they may help, but just getting your fingers under the edge is enough as you will know how much pressure to use!

 

Got them off this morning - Thanks.

 

One think I noticed is that a couple of small bits of black rubber fell out when I took them off. They look like pieces of wire sheathing about 3mm long, with a split along their length. I guess they should be used to pack out or protect something under there, but I've no idea where to replace them. Any ideas?
