Thumbs up How To: Remove chrome window trim

Sounds like there's a lot of people having trouble with this, so I pulled mine off and took pictures.

Step 1 - Remove screws
Front:


Rear:


Step 2 - Remove trim


You need to apply firm pressure when trying to slide the trim horizontally. Once you're able to slide it out about an inch (#1, see pic), then you can start pulling up and wiggling it up and out (#2, see pic). Here's a picture showing which direction each piece of trim needs to be slid, and in what order.


Trim slid out on driver's side front door

Trim completely removed

I sprayed these with Plasti-Dip: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...ndow-trim.html
