Remove the roof trim (it is secured by eight clips). First grasp the inside using the finger tips of one hand and pull it out towards the edge of the
roof. Then, use the other hand to carefully pry up the outer side using a plastic weatherstrip tool. Unhook the roof edge trim from the clips.
Note! The roof trim is securely installed, therefore force is required to remove it. If necessary, lubricate the tip of the weatherstrip tool to
