    Quick Question

    I've searched, but didn't find a clear answer. On plastic bumper cars, how does the bumper trim remove?

    :(^SOLD^:(

    It just pops off. It's very hard to do it without breaking the clips though. The clips are part of the trim itself.

      a small flat bladed screwdriver and some patience is your best bet but as mr325 has said it does tend to break no matter how careful you are.

        I think I'll just wait and get some euro trim first, but now i have another question. With a rear pop-out window, is there a way to remove the trim from the window itself? If you can't tell from my questions, I'm pretty much removing all the trims from my car and painting them. My car is pretty much stripped at this point of all trims and they are just waiting to be painted, I just can't figure out how to remove the trim from the rear window. If it can't be removed, do I just tape off the window really well?

        Also, how do I remove the drain under the wipers?

        Thanks

          do you mean your actual rear window, like the rear windshield?
          i dont believe there is anyway to remove that trim, at least not that im aware of, and everyone ive ever seen that has painted it has just taped it off really well

          if you mean your rear side window, which i kinda think you do by saying "rear pop out", then check this link, it should show you how to get it off



          im not so sure what you mean about the drain under the gutters however

            yes, i was talking about the side rear window, the pop out ones. I've been using that link as my guide, but it doesn't say if the window can be completely removed from the trims around it. I guess I'll just tape it off really well. The drain is under the front windshield wipers, and I wanted to repaint those as well as everything else I'm doing it.

                oh ok, sorry i havent really read through that write up, i just figured it would say, and after re-reading your post it was pretty obvious what you meant by the wiper drains, i was just not all there apparently

                  no problem

                  but yet another question. The drain on the passenger side poped out with a screwdriver like asubimmer said, but the one on the driver's side is under the wiper, and i didn't know how to remove the wiper. Does it all just pop off or do i remove the wiper somehow?

                  Thanks again

                    remove the wiper by lifting the small section on the closest part to the mount. Then you need to take off the 13mm nut IIRC. There is only one bolt then you lift the wiper blade off.
