B pillar chrome trim was created by Reverend X
Does anyone have any good tips for removing the chrome trim from above the rear window on the back edge of the b pillar.
Had a go and it is a but stuck up with filler, but I don't want to damage it if i am doing it wrong.
Cheers

It may be sealant that's holding it on or rust expanding and forcing the inner plastic trim to offer more of a hold over the chrome outer, don't panic if you damage the chrome sail as they are readily available second-hand.
If your near to me you can have my spare set.

Do you prise the chrome from the plastic or the plastic from the car?
Thanks

I think you take the chrome off first, leaving the plastic to be removed afterwards ?
