As some of you know, my BX estate is almost complete. i really need to remove the side vent panels so i can get the car resprayed.
just how do you remove the trim panels on a BX break / estate?
i will at the same time replace those bits of foam / sponge looking material that has all but broken up and disappeared over the years.
what holds them on? does anyone have any pictures of a BX without the tim panel vents on? (so i can see where it is held on).
thanks guys!

Re: Side trim C pillar vent panel removal
thanks for the pictures. i was looking for pictures of the vents on the outside of the car being removed.

Re: Side trim C pillar vent panel removal
Sorry I understood you want pics from inner trims removed. Does the break have bolts like hatchback? If not, I think they are glued
. If you want you can come and try to remove them, no harm done if they break because the car is going to be scrapped anyway
