    Stainless Window trim

    Im going to be replacing the Stainless window trim on my passenger side door. But i cannot figure out how to remove it. Does anyone know how to do this or has done this? Any help is appreciated. Oh yeah i have a 93 coupe.

    I just replaced the one on my driver's rear, and i pretty much just pulled it off by hand bending it and breaking all the plastic clips...took about 5 seconds. Then just check all the clip areas and free up any left-behind clip pieces and carefully put the new one on. Make sure ALL of the clips are aligned before you press it down. Hope this helps

            There should be a screw under the mirror. At least that's the case with the sedan, Then it's just trying to get the clips out.

              I replaced the ones on the driver's side bc they were already bent/misshapen from brake-ins. The front pieces have a single screw in front of the mirror on the inside of the door. Then there are 4-5 clips. To get the clips off without breaking or bending anything is going to be extremely hard. You will HAVE to at least take the window pane out and then you should be able to reach around to the clips and figure out how they unlatch.

              Oh and i got my trim pieces from majestichonda online. $50+ each. good luck!

                      Nah I got a coupe so they pieces were huge (no hiding them) and the rears were good. I guess they thought they were plastic not stainless.

                            Dealership is gonna be well over 150 Bucks for just one side. Not to mention the windshield and rear window. Just get a clean set from the junkyard

                              Any auto glass shop will be able to get the trim for you. Cause if you tell you need a windshield they ask do you also need the trim.
