Remove window seals?

Post by BowieTercel »

I'm taking in the little rig next week to get a professional paint job and I am saving money by removing all the trim. I do have a question though, does anyone have advice on the window trim seal (I'm not sure what that's called) because I'm guessing if I pull it off I would need new moulding to reinstall the windows.

Cannot offer help on the rubber seals, but on the SR5 rub strips - See this before prying!

Dunno if the "darts" are reusable - I'd looked, but just do not recall.

the metal trim around the windshield is fairly easy to pop off using a putty knife. pry it carefully, there are clips, once you see the first one you will see which way to push it to get it to pop off. try both ways on the first one.
