Default Dremel experts needed

<center><img src="http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h24/blusilvr/corner.jpg"></center><p>My corner came off in my hands, just wondering if it is an easy dremel session to remove the amber. 99 A8, same style as early B5s and C4s.

Default I've tried it on my c4 side that fell off just out of curiosity...

I had bought the depo clear corners, and when removing the oem corners, the glue was so brittle that it just fell apart when i took it out. I was looking at the amber inside thinking if i could have just saved myself money from buying the clears (just to make myself feel worse of course). But after trying to scrape/dremel it, it just completely ruins it. The amber is too embedded into the clear plastic for it to work, it'll leave you with a very thin layer if so, i think.

Default Yup, do the C4 corners fit your car? They are like ~30$ on ebay and mine

with a little dremel work to the clip, has never fallen out/became loose at all.

Default nope .. same style and shape, but different sizes

and yes, these corners are known to fall off and dangle- and not from hitting potholes, just by themselves due to cheap tabs lol

Default yea, i dont even have a plastic screw tab lock thing-er in mine, i saved the clip's lip

back a little bit, so that it locks in place just by the clip very snugly. works very well. are your oem's becoming loose? if so you should try this.
