Default Rain gutter(s) question!

Well, I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow to pick up some parts and while I'm there probably going to attempt to pick up some decent condition "rain gutters" for my hatch (current ones are... )

Anyways, from what I've read from searching around there are supposedly 2 clips that hold these gutters on (one in the front, one in the rear), and the rest is all friction-fit. However, I've also read that it's very easy to damage these "gutters" when removing/installing.

My question is: What's the most effective method to remove/install "rain gutters" in our cars as to prevent damage to the car or the rain gutters themselves?

Thanks alot!

talking about the two black strips in the roof? start at the rear, with a tiny flat blade screwdriver, and slowly work them up. they have to pop up out of a clip on the front and rear.

I would say go to the dealership and get new ones, junkyard probably isn't going to have much.

you might want to cut or rip the windsheild moulding( because the rain gutter kinda tucks unerneath) so you dont damage the moulding when you remove it
