weslangdon Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Not a difficult job, but it is messy, time consuming and frustrating to get the original out and clean off all the rubbery gunge, plus you need some captive nuts for the B pillar to fit the pop out. I started it on an Arosa TDI and after doing one side I decided against the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry.0112 Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have read that they are difficult, wont need the B Pillar nuts as mine already has them but its 3 years until I can even drive it so im not bothered about how long it takes?

weslangdon Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I cut it off as best I could with a stanley and used a sanding block, theres probably a solvent out there that'll do it but I'd expect it to take the paint and my skin with it too so I didn't go down that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or petrol. Or thinners. The paint system on a lupo is 2k isocyanate based, and is resistant to just about any solvent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
