Just tried to remove the boot trim on my '53 A4 Avant to get at the wiper pipes. Bloomin' difficult! Took out the four screws near the bottom but then getting the clips off was a nightmare - you have to pull much harder than feels right. First one broke the plastic. One on passenger side was ok and gave me enough room to get my hand in with some adjustable grips to release the other four clips without pulling so hard. Still couldn't get the trim off though as there was something holding it near the top by the window.
Have abandoned it for now and put it all back together. Broken clip doesn't matter as the screws hold everything tight but its annoying to know its there.
Anyone got any hot tips on how to do this without breaking stuff??
