Removing door trims around window - tips please. :)

Post by Figgy »

I need to cut out some rust just below the window on a rear passenger door, any tips for removing the trim around the bottom of the window please?


Thanks in advance,
Anne.

Hello, I think there is no easy way. I did this job on a Morris Minor and its a case of taking the glass right out which is a bit of a fiddle and only made easier by removing the door and doing the the job on a bench. There may be an easier way, but I don't know of one. Cheers, bogbasic.

Thanks for your reply bogbasic, I'm very wary of breaking something, that can't be easily replaced...but then sometimes you just have dive right in and attack.
Cheers!
