Replacing/Painting Sunroof Garnish

[audi2nr]

Nice job. I am probably overthinking this, but is there any advice I should know when clipping the new trim pieces back into the slots or is it pretty straightforward?

Nope just clip in, center pieces first, then the sides.

Mine are so yellowed and faded I just assumed they all were the grey color. I ordered replacements and they sure look like the same as what is there. This thread makes me think I should paint them prior to install!

I already went down that road - I bought a good used set and they showed up poorly packaged and destroyed. It makes me wonder if they weren't cracked to hell before they even went into the box and the crappy packaging was just a cover.



Thanks - I will look for that at my local HD tomorrow!


Side bar: Where can I buy SEM locally? I am trying to wrap up as much as I can today (Sunday, March 26) and Amazon doesn't show either of the SEM products arriving until after next weekend.


Jackpot! I think these new garnish pieces will be huge improvement - right now it just lets the whole interior down IMHO. I had a piece of rear door sill molding out anyhow and I laid it down for a color reference to see if I would like it.
