Clear instructions on HOW TO REMOVE HALF MOON cladding

[VX KAT]

I hear removing the half moon piece can be a real beotch....
I see the two bolts, but not sure what the "clips" are that Tone referred to in thread below.


Do you use a flat spatula type thing to get under the double stick tape on the perimeter?

Found this thread on it, but not specific enough....

Really it's not too bad, you just need something flat to pry the half moon up. I used a flat head screw driver and started at the bottom, then worked my way toward an edge were I could peel the entire halfmoon off. I don't remember any clips, just the screws and tape.

The hardest part is prying the half moon without scratching paint.

Sorry i'm not more helpful, it's been a while since I had a half moon to remove. :rolleyes:

Sue, if it is just tape then I would use some kind of stout plastic putty knife to do the prying so you don't scratch the paint.

Couple notes. There are two 'bolts' and 2 clips, needle nose pliers work great for the clips. If you are ever prying against body paint, make sure to use a plastic prybar (you can get them everywhere), and wrap it once in a rag.
