The trim is not removable, it is part of the window, and it is all held in place with "Window Weld". [glued in place] with only 2 "clips" for lining up the window when installing it, and they are not even needed, [I did mine without the clips].

What is the year and model, [trim level] of your Integra?

Why do you need to remove it? 94

Your local bone yard is the first place I would look, a PicknPull will be the best bet, hard work but cheapest.

Is somewhere tx close to San Antonio, Fort Worth, Dallas or Waco?

There are PicknPulls in all 4 towns, with 3 in Dallas.

You can get new ones for about $145 each from... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...catdisplay.jsp or $193 from the dealer.

Even better deals on eBay... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_kw=2...ts_Accessories 94

I forgot it is not removable on 3rd gens. On DA's you can unclip the moldings. Slipped my mind, nonetheless fcm's advice is best

Sure you can replace it, you'll just have to buy a new quarter window from Acura which will come with new moldings. So to answer your question as crystal clear as I can, YES it can be replaced, NO not separately.
