    plastic roof strips

    Gday All


    The plastic strips on the roof have some plastic lugs hold them down , do they unscrew or just pop out. I assume the sit in the head of a allen screw or something.


    I tried to wedge them out but look like they were about to break and leave the centre part in.


    Thanks in Advance


    Cheers Ean

    They will screw out easily.

    Strips aren't plastic - they're Alloy plastic roof strips

    I recently broke one. I tried levering as per the PowerfulUK YouTube video with a trim tool and the top came away. So unscrewing would be a better bet but it was in pretty tight.

    Get a flat head screw driver...
    Lever the edge up gently.
    Grab raised edge with pliers and unscrew out.

    Or it your not planning to re-use you. An push a hot flat head screw driver into the top and unscrew.
