Help With Barn Door Chrome

How do you remove the chrome beltline pieces from the barn doors on a Clubman? The rubber strip below the chrome on my passenger side door is ripped and I have replacement rubber, but I don't know how to pop the chrome off (and back on) without damage. Looks like it should just pull off...

Thanks in advance!

Replying to my own thread - I'm just going to take it in for service. I've been wanting to get the sunroof "fixed" and have the whistling water pump looked at anyway. The best news - MINI of Sterling can get my car in on October 5th! Talk about speedy service!

rubber strip on beltline

The dealer should relace the rubber strip and belt line for free. There is a know problem with them.

I can live with the issue until MoS can take care of it, so I don't think I'll call Passport. Are they fast? I will look at them for future work.


I didn't know this was a known issue, but I do expect it to be covered by the warranty, even if my car is the only one that has ever had the problem.
