Hey

First off i tried searching, but i didnt really know what it was called, so that didnt help my case. I would like to know how to remove this piece of trim that sits against the window on the doors to keep the water out.

Heres a reference picture so you know what im talking about. Any help would be good cheers.

 

Bump... I tried yanking lol. -It didnt work.

 

i've successfully employed the 'yank' method

 

i've taken it off of my EG hatch.

from what i remember; i removed part of the rubber around the upper-back corner, then the filler piece (tall piece above what you are trying to remove), then the piece you want to remove. i don't think i had to remove the mirrors.

but what i do remember, is that it was a pain.

 

So the B pillar cover has to be removed first? Or should i just keep yanking.

 

LOL at Josh's car randomly popping up.

 

lol i was talking to him about it, he said if he had time hed try to get them off on one of his dodgy doors he has lying around.

 

it's a pain, don't know what the sedan is like, but to save the clips from breaking you have to use some finesse. if your inside you would pull the molding toward the inside and up some just like it would need to come off, then use a small flathead to release the molding from the clip while still pulling up so as you go along they don't relatch. eh, hope it helps man...you'll probably break them though.

 

Hmm thanks for that. Ill give it another shot later.

 

You will break the clips, and just like everyone else said its a pain.


I would just order a new set of clips before removing them, so you can get it back on sooner. I always have the tendency to break clips, and ordering a new set before hand speeds up the whole process.

 

Hmm well the reason im trying to get mine off is because they dont sit against the windows properly and let water into the door. So i guess i need new ones anyways.
