Re: [MBZ] Gutter moulding removal
On the A pillar there are 2 star screws which seem to hold a black plastic inner piece. I'm wondering how the chrome part comes off - there is a split in the chrome( aluminium ) towards the C pillar.

Re: [MBZ] Gutter moulding removal
Peter, Never having removed the moulding on a 123 300D, I can't speak from experience. But, try taking out he two star screws and see what kind of movement that allows. Be gentle, always reminding yourself that you may want to back up and not walk out the plank too far.

Re: [MBZ] Gutter moulding removal
I'd like the know the same thing. There are some screws on our W123, but I don't think these are the only thing holding it in place.
