Title: How to remove the door window trim seal
Post by: fawtytoo on March 2, 2026, 13:16
Is it possible to remove the door window trim seal? If so, how? Do they just pull off? I would like to try and rectify some of the paintwork issues but I need to spray right up to the seal. I'm sure I could work out another way around the problem, but it would be simpler if it just wasn't there.

I found that gently pulling on the trim seal can often be enough to remove it without damage. It helps to start at one end and work your way along. Once, I considered using fire-resistant windows for home safety, and I realized the importance of quality material and precision. It's like how fireresist.co.uk (https://fireresist.co.uk/fire-windows-birmingham/) offers tailored fire windows—precision matters when you're working with car parts too.

They are held in place by small push-in 'clips' every few inches.

With the right small tool, they can be gently prized out.
