*pics* How to: Removing Chrome Window Trim.... sanding, progress on car

Yup, my car still hasn't hit the damn garage and it's supposed to get repaired when my bumper (been 4 months) arrives. I'm going to get ahead by sanding down my car for paint.


Here's a basic 'how to' on removing the window trim.
Tools needed: As the Japanese say, a Plus and Minus driver
10mm socket wrench
Patience





Unscrew the mirror from the inside. The A-Pillar cover just pops off...







At this point, you should be done. If you can't take it off still, good luck

My progress and damage!!...

Hopefully next month. I'm sanding the car with very little help and it feels like it'll never get done at my pace between work and other things
