Title: side indicators removal
Post by: moredun on April 14, 2019, 14:55
I was under the impression that you slide the indicator towards the rear of the car and they should pop out, but I cant get mine to budge at all.
If I remove the wheel arch liner would this give me access to the indicators, or do I just go at them with a hammer and chisel   (:< >:)

They're a push fit, plastic spring tangs at each end so prize them out carefully with a trim removal tool as they're prone to be a bit brittle with age.

To be honest I just pulled that out with my fingers and I can barely feel them for the cold.
