Hello All,
I'm planning to replace the rubber front door sealing trim - #1 in the diagram. Anyone have experience removing the door trim to do the job? Of course the factory manual makes it look so easy but reality looks very different. I do have the new parts btw. Thanks.

Re: Door sealing trim
I've done this job on a 77. You don't need to remove the door trim. A few plastic pry tools are useful. No adhesive is needed either; it's a snug fit. Waterless hand lube or talc powder are useful for installation. One thing prevents this from being a totally easy job - the door brake or door check. You'll have to get into the door internals to disconnect it, unless you want to cut your new seal - not recommended.PatinaBeforePolish wrote:Hello All,
