removing roof strips

I have decided (or my wife has) to spray her just bought, silver 1.4tdi roof volcanic black but I need to remove the roof, I think gutter strips, these seem to be held in with a rubber channel? How does one remove them Do they just lever out or are there some clips as well. I presume these strips are quite delicate and care must be taken not to kink them, any advice would be appreciated. Also replacing them is this just the reverse order?
Thank you, Adrian.
 
Hi Adrian

They simply pull out, no clips involved. Use a blunt flat object to prise the edge up and then keep pulling slowly. There is some degree of flexibility in then just don't bend then too much.
 
I think Murdo mentioned this on his thread Adrian. If i remember rightly you start from the back with the boot open to provide access to the "open end" and very gently prise out. I,m led to believe they may be a bit brittle so a warm day may help too.
