STF for my "OCD" DIY...it is not hard to do...use good tape, or even better - foam backed tape!

Thanks,

I hope this helps….Funny I read about European impact strips and lights this morning…I had an idea last night to;

1) Cast the chrome in a clear UV resistant resin – molding in “sockets” to receive 5 watts worth of LEDs for the running light and a few more LEDs for a better turn signal.
2) Chrome the back half of the cast clear part so that it looks chrome all over.
3) Wire in the LEDs to the running light wire and the other LEDs to the turn signal.
4) Re-Install

Anyway…On to your issue…

(This is what my Dad and I figured out in the drive way one day…)
1. TAPE off all the surrounds on the upper and lower rail to protect the finish.
2. Use two small / thin mechanics scales / or thin plastic tools / wedges to get in-between the impact strip and the fascia – you are looking for the THREE molded in snaps – release them by riding your tool over the top / bottom of the respective snap.
3. Start releasing the snaps on the INBOARD side first walking the strip out to the corner.
4. The corner has an upper and lower HOOK that you must roll out of its catch.
5. Remove impact strip to do what ever!

Hope this helps,
Jake
