Hi Raimund,
I cut the roof clip into approx sized bit, included the raised section along one side. That was to help match the raised portion on the wheel well.
Anyway, with the smaller section I could remove the fuzz with wire wheel on pedestal grinder. Threw fuzz all over shop. I’m sure I’ll get some words about that :-)
Can’t imagine the pain doing the fuzz on roof in the van, and with the “mouse modifications”, ugh!
I gave away a few of my spare body clips, but still have a front door in home shop that is in the way. But hasn’t bugged me quite enough yet.
