Default How to remove weather strip from door?

Hey guys/gals,

This has bugged me for several years, and I haven't really looked into it much. But now it's at the point. My passenger door is slightly open when I close it (not flush). It locks fine, and I've made adjustments to the latch to see if it will close more flush. I think I have traced the problem down to the weather stripping. Basically, I have hear it make contact first, and when I push on the door it gives me that spongy resistance.

Is there a way I can removed the stripping without damaging it, such to be reinstalled later?
I came across a site that describes forcefully pulling on it, but it was a Acura TL site. So, I'm not sure if it is completely applicable to the Integra.

It don't know if it matters much, but my car is a 98 RS.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, its pressed on.

Just pull gently to get off. Start in one area, and work sideways once you get it partially off. Might need to wiggle it back and forth to get it started.
