Take all the screws out of it, take the clip off of the window handle and take it off. Then just pop the panel off, voila.

Im not talking about the door panel, im talking about the outside molding, like in the middle of the door that runs from left to right. Because once you pop off the door panel, then there is a piece of frame that is right behind the door molding on the inner side of the door. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

On the inside of the door near the latch side there should be a 10mm nut that holds the trim on. Take that off then slide the trim towards the front of the car, you may need to take the trim off the fender in front of it to make room. I think thats how you it, I may be confusing it with the other trim piece on the door.

If you're not gonna use it again, just take the 10mm nut off as stated in the previous post, then pull outward while a friend busts the plastic clips off with a screwdriver. Make sure your friend knows what he's doing.

well i have another car (parts car)that has them on there, and they are painted the same color as my car. If i could swap them without messing anything up then i think it would look better. So i dont want to tear anything up. IF anyone is looking for some side molding i think i have some extra in the gayrage. Let me know and throw me an offer.

Thanks,
Matt
