I've been told this is really simple but I still can't figure it out! I'm trying to remove my old boot strip off my car and put a new one in it's place. Anyone know the easiest way to do it? And if i need any tools

pull the back off the boot (inside) then its a 10mm spanner i think... there's two nuts to undo then it will just pull out.

Its fine, just pull it from the handle until one of the clips pop out then just pull around it so you only pop one at a time, ive done it plenty of times, its stronger than it looks

I used a small flathead with some Tape round it so I didn't mark the paint
