any one here have an idea how to remove it.

 

take off the nut at the end on the back. starting at that end, pull it away slightly from the door and use something thin and flat (putty knife on each side is money) to press the next clip in from the top and the bottom and pull the molding from the door skin. when it pops out, go to the next one.

make sure you push the clip in from both sides.

don't bend the molding too much. it'll kink and be ruined.

take extra care on the last clip- if you pry too much you'll rip the molding end piece off.

depending on what you are using, a very thin barrier (honda says shop towel, but i think it's too thick. piece of card-stock worked best for me) between the paint and the thin flat thing will protect the paint if you are having problems. i quit using it halfway through and didn't scratch anything.

 

Thanks a lot. . .

 

 

THanks this one helps out a lot too. .

 

that's the pic i was couldn't upload.

good for illustration, but i've found that the shop rag is a little too thick, and that the flathead is both too thick to go between well, and too narrow to make hitting the clip easy. that is why i recommended a thinner and wider tool like a putty knife, and something thinner to protect the door.

you will also be a LOT easier on the door and the molding with the tools i recommended, and you probably wont even need anything to keep from scratching the paint.

i did this to 4 doors over the weekend, and didn't break any clips.

 

Thanks a lot guys for the help. . .
