Hi Tim

Those things just tend to fall off. Even when they are on the car, it doesn't take much to remove them.

I don't think there is any special way to remove and refit them but it may be advantageous too use some adhesive when refitting them, which is missing from the factory fitted ones.

Roof trim on a Citroen C3

The profile on the underside of the trim is slightly barbed and the rubbery material grabs onto the metal roof join.

Just pull up, no need to slide.
