I think you need to remove the interior trims to get to the screws, then the outer trim slides forwards and pulls off.

ok well the new one looks like it does slide forward but be nice if someone can conferm wether you need to remove the rear inner trim pannel to undo screws before i remove the trim as the audi parts comptuer dosent show any screws, ta

Surey if you look at the part itself, you can see if it's screwed down or not?

It's got to be the lower ones on the doors which line up with the ones on the rear quarters, centre of the door ones are adhesive throughout the VAG range.

Yeah sorry Joe, didnt read it properly, is it the same as the A3? A little screw either end ot the trim and slot on?

No need to remove the inner trim , it's all done from the outside with the door open.

My cars in for a respray on certain areas, both doors being included. My question to you is, will they have to take off and refit these side strips in order to spray!?!

Mine are a bit grotty, if they're coming off, they#d may aswel replace with new items.

i seem to think that the new items need spraying too as they only come in undercoat?

Well mine are just black plastic and not painted at all. Need to order a new drivers side one as it was coming away and ive removed it.

 

[1animal1]

mine are (i think) painted Grey, they polish up a treat!!!

 

[s3_kev]

yeah they do come grey but its not a primered grey, same colour as they came standard. so looks like a fairly simple slide off jobbie then, thought it would be

 

[1animal1]
