Hi,

If you are referring to the door weather stripping, it should be a push fit with very little adhesive. There is usually a channel in the weather stripping that fits over a pinch weld on the door.

Let me know if that is what you are referring to.

Take care,

Joe

I am referring to the window belt molding trim that is chrome and rubber that spans the window opening on the outside of the door.

Hi,

Just to jump in, this is called the belt outer sealing strip.

I am attaching the info below on how to remove this.

You need to remove the screw from the front of the strip that I think you need to remove the door panel to access.

Then it slides backwards and pulls up.

Please run through this and let us know what other questions you have. Thanks
