About to tackle removing the old door trims and replacing with new ones, any tips on how this is done ?
Do they just slide off ?
Paul
Paul, did you manage to get them off ok? Also do you have pics of before and after perhaps? One of mine is looking like it could do with being taken off cleaned up and stuck back on. Little jobs, little jobs please stay away, until it's time to come out and play...with an I5 T.....
Thanks Paul, mine are not quite near that stage yet but would be good to get them of to see how they are if they are not just full of dirt that is making them swell.
I never even had the chance to look at mine when home recently, but when home next planning to get the wheels off to get re-done, and clean out the arches as that salt on the roads was pretty nasty to the metal under the arches, so while car on stands will have a wee look at these and see if they have been filled with salt form the roads too, poor beastie....
Yeah, I hadn't looked either, it was just down in my mind as something that I'd been told was done.
Full disclosure, previous owner provided me a strip for the iirc drivers side door, I had this pained and fitted by my local preferred garage at the same time they fixed a crack in the front bumper.
However I noticed the rear lh passenger door strip was sitting proud, and so I arrived at this how to.
It is really easy to do, provided the corrosion isn't binding.
This strop was bad, but came free easy having being soaked in penetrating oil first.
By bad I mean it was corroded away completely at either end, with bad corrosion especially on the lower edge.
I don't doubt this had been replaced, it was painted, but that wasn't enough.
