Photos by this evening, I hope.
I've learned how to take apart ALL the window trim parts. I didn't break TOO much in the process!
The key is to yank out the window gasket in its channel, first. Then all the relevant screws that hold it
together shall be revealed to you.
The door pillar trim is held in place by a screw through the upper edge of the door, with the nut on
the inside of the door. It's that fancy, plastic looking hex head nut you've seen many times on the
inside of your doors and didn't know what it was for.
Now that I can completely de-trim the doors, I have to ask myself, AM I GOING TO DO IT?
It's a fair amount of work and certainly there'd be NO paint line at the trim if I don't have to tape
around it, but damaging parts gets expensive and you've got to remember how it all goes together.
I'm removing the mirrors to paint them separately. This requires removing the inside door panels,
so I've already got a fair time investment in the doors. Should I do a little more?
I don't know what'll happen to the rear filler window if I pull the frame it's in. Will the window crash into
the door and get lodged in there, or break, or fall out and break?
Trying to do a really killer job on a car requires a lot more questions to be asked and answered.
