I want to get mine repainted as there looking very tired. How do they come off as I dont want to pull at them ans snap them.

Most ones sold used have broken clips so I presume not easy to remove, best chance would be with a trim removal tool but be carefully. Failing that just buy new ones and swap them over probably no dearer than having yours painted.

Funny i just bought a brand new genuine Subaru one for my passenger side, and turns out they are held on with very fine double sided tape, no clips, so there you go, was news to me also

Im sure if you take yours off you could bond it back on with sikaflex or tigerseal or something similar tho!

they have clips that push into holes drilled in the arches and also double sided tape too.
next to impossible to remove without snapping clips off.

i got new ones from here and they come prepainted too
