    How to remove trim around door window?

    I have a 1991 318is and had to replace the door. The new door has the chrome trim. My old door has good black trim. How do I get the trim off below the window and up around the top of the window?

      Does trim piece H, the part under the back window, come off the same as piece E, the one under the door window?

      Will trim H clear the rear window gasket?

      Thanks.

          Thanks and from reading the writeup again (Step 2) it looks like you have to pull the side window to get it off?

              Paint, that's what drives my questions. Don't really want too but guess I will.

              Have you pulled the front and back windows too?

              Thanks.

                In the time its taken you to post about it you could have removed the windows twelve times. Its VERY simple.
