Does anyone know of any links/threads that may have schematics or DIY instructions for removing:
1. the silver trim around the door windows (just the bottom part) - is it just double sided tape?
2. removing the anti-door ding strip that is 1/3 up the doors - is it just double sided tape?
3. removing the rear and front door door handles
4. removing the upper flap (that covers the rear door rail in the rear quarter panel)
5. loosening one side of the rear bumper to create a gap between the rear quarter body panel.
xtnct,
I only know offhand how to remove the "anti-door ding strip", so hopefully other forum members will be able to help you out with the other DIY jobs
There are two clips on each respective doors that have to be removed in order for the strips to come off. Use an appropriate prying tool to remove the clips, then the Front Door Protector Strips will come off. The clips are shown as ref #7 in the diagram below:
