Window Trim

1day · 04-17-2008, 07:53 AM

Ok fellas,

I need to replace the bottom window trim on my drivers side front window (don't ask). The parts guy called it the "belt guard". It is the piece at the bottom of the window, that sits over the felt portion, but NOT the felt portion. Any gurus know if it just pops out, or do I have to start taking things apart. When I get home I will post a pic if there is any confusion.

Take a pic. I had the dealer replace the "door Skin" on my drivers door. They said that air gets built up under the skin and causes bubbles. Said this is a common problem with the new frames. Waranteed.

They may Warranty it, but I can honestly buy the part and replace it myself cheaper than taking off 6hrs of work and paying $4.30/gal to go to the dealer.
3hr round trip for them to say ok, we will order the part.
3hr round trip to go back after they get it in.

$20-$30 to buy the part and a Sat morning. I just need to know how to replace it.
