Yes, and from the inside, or the outside if you are not worried about the clips....

all you do is unbolt the 10m then slide the molding towards the front wheel, the clip will slide off and you just pop them off after the molding is off.

Does that mean that ALL moldings are the same? HF/SI as well? My car's (91 SI) needs some pieces and I need to know what to look for. Sorry for the thread jack

hf, si, dx all have the same trim just 88-89 have different trim from the 90-91

So this 10mm bolt is located on the inside of the door?

Me either, I have never removed them from the doors, the ones on the doors are the ones I specifically need help removing, i have removed the front fender and rear 1/4 molding just by sliding like mentioned above would i approach the door the same.

When i got inside the door of the 90-91 i was gonna remove the trim from i noticed that the extra support brace in the door runs along all the clips, how do i get around it... I guess to make my question more specific? lol

Toss the clips out, and use window weld to mount them in place.

That eliminates a BIG rust threat, as well as eliminates a common rattle.

You're right, I found it in the haynes manual, the bolt is on the rear end of the door.

I was planning on gluing on my pieces, rust is not really a worry in the area that I live in, however the last time I put pieces on my car they FELL OFF!! lol I was so pissed cuz its so hard to find trim pieces.... If anyone has extra let me know. I am looking for 90-91 trim btw.
