      Think so, the little rubber/felt strips that line the base of the window.

          yes there are clips that hold it to the door. take a paint stir stick or equivalent and tap upward on it. theres like 5 clips maybe. work it off slowly working your way down the door as to not kink that shit. it comes off fairly easily

                I don't know if it helps you, but the late model inner trip that goes on top of the door panels w/o chrome is different from the early TWO PIECE chrome strip + rubber insert.

                A while back I replaced the chrome ones with the late model trip and it's not exactly a perfect fit.

                I am too going to replace the outer weatherstrip as well..

                  My weather strip was original, it fell apart like a cracker. I 'm amazed that it lasted 22 years with the Florida and Texas heat. Also no rust on ledge or for that matter no rust any where.
