and unhook plastic clips that are attached to the roof underneath
each end of the trim.
Store channel trim in a safe location for use in Step 14.

TRACK INSTALLATION
Thoroughly clean exposed roof channel at

Degreaser before refitting roof trim.
To conceal exposed roof channel at front
and rear of Tracks, cut to length the original
roof trim removed in Step 1.
Measure out the required length by
positioning the trim along roof channel.
The front needs to be measured so the end
of trim sits under windscreen rubber.
Use a pencil to mark reference line on trim.
Remove trim from vehicle and cut to
length using a Fine Tooth Hacksaw.
Liberally apply an Automotive Adhesive
to roof channel then refit trim pieces.
Wipe off any excess adhesive with
a damp cloth and allow to dry.
Use a fine tooth
Hacksaw due to metal
