JohnMackay Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 HiI need to strip my doors in order to deal with rust on the bottoms. I'm not too sure how to remove the window trims...they appear to be held in place by some spring clip mechanism. Is there a technique to ease the removal?Many thanks for any feedback.John UK1939 LZ Sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch when replacing them that they are not to long and will damage the trim molding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch when replacing them that they are not to long and will damage the trim molding.Hi WaldrenThanks for the reply.I've removed all the small trim screws and it allows the cloth trim to ease away from the door frame. Unfortunately the trim can't be completely removed until I remove the metal trim surround shown in the photo. This metal trim surround appears to be retained by a flat spring mechanism...I've tried pushing in the metal spring but as it's reluctant to move much I don't want to apply too much pressure. Hopefully the photo illustrates what I mean.Kindest RegardsJohn UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken/Alabama Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Grab the moulding at the top and apply downward pressure and at the same time pull outward. There aren't any screws holding it just those spring clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
