510 Wagon vinyl trim

[izzo]

Alright, so the vinyl trim on a 510. It goes around the pillars by the window, and by the back hatch. Theres four pieces of alum trim... They attach to something on the body. What exactly are they attached to, and how does it attach to the body? Are they screwed in? Spot welded??  Anyone have pictures of what it looks like with just the clips on the body, and also the clips removed?

 

Have someone interested in mine. Might sell them, but it depends on what the wagons gonna look like with them removed. I don't want to have holes or drill/grind the body really..

 

Info, pictures, all welcomed!

Izzo! Got your PM but I figured I'd put it here instead. Its been almost 10 years so I'm trying to remember. I don't believe I have any close up pictures back then. I think the rears had standard trim clips rivetted to the body and the trim just popping off and on, carefully of course. You may find spot welds instead of rivets but I'm sure there are clips under there. My trim came off pretty easy if I remember correctly. My fronts look different than yours. Mine came this way, I just repainted them and re rivetted them back on.

 

I think you could successfully pull one side off to check. I did mine before I knew what I was doing and didn't screw them up. :rolleyes: At any rate you won't find much under there, either tiny holes from rivets or maybe a small spot weld. You might even be able to reuse the clips. Wish I could help more.
