As Jay said heat them up with a hairdryer then use a bit of force. Not sure if any damage will occur. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I've not tried anything except try to locate whatever release clips they might have had! Called the dealer and was told they were glued on!!! Couldn't believe it - pardon the pun but what a cheap and tacky method of application!!! Thought they might have at least replaced the top part of the shell! I'll try the hair dryer approach - thanks!! Neil |

Most of the FL2 body kits is stuck on by 3M tape (not sure on how the RRS is attached), but i suppose with modern adhesives its stronger than a couple of screws. Personally, i would go down the prep and paint spray approach, as when you have got the covers off you be scraping glue off forever, or having to use a strong glue/tar remover which possible may damage the plastic I think body coloured mirrors caps look better anyway
