Interior/Exterior Beltline Removal :: Looking for a How-To
I know the pieces on the doors just pull up, but it looks like the piece below the windshield has clips...

...numbers 3, 6, 7...also looks like there is a screw and a "nutsert" on the ends, numbers 4 and 5.
Seems like an awful lot for a piece of molding.
The rear ones appear to have clips as well...

...numbers 8 and 9, and numbers 5 and 6 on the boot piece.

Remove, I've got a project in the works
Looked in the Bentley manual but can't seem to find anything, so thus far those RealOEM sketches are the best resource.

I did mine in electrical tape, super fast and super super easy. Left no residue, two sections were messing up at the ends after a few months so I pulled it up and redid them in 10 minutes last night. Electrical tape was definitely for the win.

I've got a belt line blackout tutorial with pictures here: http://www.russellcory.com/blog/?page_id=19#Project2
I once took of my rear belt line trim to clean out all the accumulated dust, gravel, and plant debris. All it took was some guts and a lot of pulling. The clips are similar to the ones on the top of the inside door trim, at least back here.
i've got electrical tape on my beltline too but it keeps peeling on the ends. i gave it slack in order for it to shrink up in the sun but it's still messy. do you cut it precisely at the end or do you wrap it to the inside?
Use a "pin stripe tape" not electrical. Outmotoring.com sells beltline kit for 12.95 - so it's not much different than e-tape in cost.
