[sigmfsk]

Maybe you want to change from 2-piece style to 1-piece blumo style:

Maybe you want to replace the beltline weatherstripping.

The trim is held in place by the beltline weatherstripping. On my front doors, I was able to remove the rubber bumper at the bottom of the door:



remove the nut holding the window track in place and push the track in slightly:



then lower the front window all the way, allowing access to the beltline weatherstripping screws:



I was able to loosen all the screws and remove the trim:




I'm glad that TK had good success with leaving his trim intact during painting, because that's my plan for the rear doors too. For the rear doors, I can't see how the trim could be removed without first removing the window.
