Hi guys, I know that the rain gutters are normally just popped onto the roof of the car, how do i take it out (i know just pop it off right)

what i meant is, if anyone has ever done this or know the exact spots to pull

i want to know this because I will be wrapping my roof next week with black vinyl, if anyone wants to help on that too let me know... but the most important thing is how do i detach the rain gutter temporarily?

i have a coupe btw... if it makes any difference =D thanks

**edit here is an example

the black strips that catch the water and carry them across the roof, also keep you from getting DRENCHED whole turning after a rainstorm.

removing these channels should be fairly straightforward?, i used to remove them all the time at the bodyshop, but often the clips would break. but that's on the older civics.

I would just pull and pray..... oh wait....

very surprising that there are no clips at the back... ill have to see when i pry it off.. maybe some double sided tape to put it back..

 

[hc806]

all done without removing the rain gutter =D

so how do they come off?

 

[hc806]

well me and portabuddy looked into it, and u have to some how remove the clips from the front and probably slide the back out... so i ended up not removing it dont want to break off the clips since i dont have time to go replace them and dont know if honda will sell them seperately

 

[B MAN]

honda sells everything separately


i did the a mod ones, and they sold the bolt separate from the nut...

really, u dont think i'd need the nut if i bought the bolt :facepalm:
