Suggestion

I carefully removed one last year to clean around it and wished I hadn't bothered, it was too hard to get it back properly although I did eventually manage it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How do i take the 2 strips for roof rails that are built into the car roof? How much are new ones?

POST 2Original post

I have the same problem and I think the answer is with some difficultly. On 996.1 the screws are so weak that they will fall to pieces as soon as you try to remove them and I understand the way to go is to unclip the roof lining and undo a hex bolt inside the car. Once removed I also understand that they can be replaced with the superior 996.2 item. Has anyone here actually done this and can comment?

POST 3Original post

I carefully removed one last year to clean around it and wished I hadn't bothered, it was too hard to get it back properly although I did eventually manage it. Unless you need to remove, I would say leave well alone and I would certainly not do it now when it's all cold, wait for a summer day to soften the plastic parts, they'll be very brittle today.
