Removing And Installing External Door Trims On R32

[MrStabby]

The trims at the top of the door that touch the glass. Any tips for removal? Looks like there's four white plastic clips that hold them on, but i've slightly bent it trying to get it off.

For installation, do i just push it down then push it forward to slide it under the rear vision mirror assembly? Seems like both of mine were a bit loose at the trailing edge of the door, so im wondering if i'm missing a clip...

You've probably worked it out

small screw at the door handle side on the inside - remove with a phillips head

use a long screwdriver under the trim and lift it up - will save it from flexing the trim or bending it

there are metal clips that hold it down but they will open and allow the trim to come up

the 4 white things you can see hold the felt bushes against the window, not part of the securing of the trim

While its out clean the felt bushes as this is what causes the glass scratching up

and yes for install just slide it under at small angle and push the trim back into place do the small screw up.

Ok both sides are missing the screws. I can see a ~5mm hole in the trim - are the screws really short and stubby and screw directly into the trim metal? I'll see if i can find them in FAST.

Mine has 2 black felt bits for that. Looks like my clips for holding it down are plastic.

Yep - screws are short stubby and go straight into the metal.

Should be able to find something suitable at bunnings
