The black weather stripping piece that goes along the door (not roof) the straight piece...

how does that bitch come off?

i took off the 2 screws holding it on, and tried pulling up on it but it barely moves??? anyone know how to get it off w/out breaking it???

here it is, there are some sort of "tabs" in the inside of the door. im sure u took of the door panel? just look along the top of the door where the trim rests, and u will see "ribet" looking things that go thru it. this is how i got mine of...Twist it outwards (the trims towards the outside of the door) and pull up HARD! it was a bitch to do them when i replaced mine. when u put them back on, MAKE sure they are right on, since u cant just slide them from side to side and will need to take them back out...i know...it happened to me :)

If you are talking about the rubberized metal part then there are like 8 screws and some adhesive holding it on. I just replaced mine a couple of days ago.

mine were a bitch. i ended up pulling up parts of it, then sliding the rest of the way off.

where can you order the door trim + weather striping. I have pry marks from a break in 4 years ago. I get mad everytime I look at it. Whats mitsu want for them.

MachV.com has all of the weather stripping.

Does anyone know how to get the trim out that goes along the roof?? Does it just pry off or are there screws holding it in as well?

there are screws under the rubber like weather stripping.

Mike, just prep it and paint it when you get your new color. They look great painted to match the car, ive gotten a lot of compliments from people who actually noticed. I think it makes our window area look a lot smaller and enhances the look of the car.

Any close ups or pics of that? I would like to see that.

Ya I have seen the rubbers painted before, but my buddy who did his on his cavalier, the paint chipped off, so I wont be doing that.

Yea that looks real good. I do remember seeing those now, for some reason I thought I hadn't. Either way that looks awesome. For those of us with a black car it doesnt do anything but if I owned another color car I would do that in a second.

Mike you need to slowly work at the trim till you get it off. Liek posted above there are tabe on the inside of the door that hold it on. Remove the mirror to make it easier and becareful not to bend the trim. Time and effort is what removes them. I cant say i found an easy way to pop them off.
