Removing Window Trim

[whiped]

I think you can take them off the car. I've had it on my to-do list for a while just need a week of nice weather as I don't want to drive in the rain without them.

Here is the first half of the DIY I was writing for it:

Originally I was going to have mine vinyl wrapped until I came across a guy who painted his which IMO is a better solution.

When I previously did research everyone kept saying you had to break the back small window and disassemble the doors to remove the trim to paint it. I can now confirm neither is needed.

With that, here is some preliminary research. I might post a proper DIY when I do mine if I get enough interest here.

Removing Body Window Trim

1. Roof Trim Molding

􀁺 Standard roof trim molding:

-- Remove the roof trim molding from the body beginning at the C-pillar.

􀁺 High gloss roof trim strip:

-- Pull the lower trim strip out the clips beginning on the side of the C-pillar.
-- Carefully pry the roof trim strip out of the clips above the side window and unclip it from the body flange.
-- Beginning at the A-pillar, unclip the roof trim strip from the body moving downward.

2. Side Window
3. Decorative Trim Strip

-- To remove the C-pillar, pry it out of the clips beginning at the side.
-- Pry the roof trim molding on the roof out of the side clips.
-- Slide the trim molding down out of the roof trim molding.

Removing Door Window Trim

Haven't tested it myself though so cannot confirm.

Hmmm, from the diagram I guess it is just pulling and prying... going to need a lot of patience as to not break anything. Thanks for the help thus far
