Removing trim

[GunnVK]

Hi guys done a search but couldn't find what I wanted. Just need to know how do I remove this piece of chrome trim. Iv got all the other bits off except this one.

you need a special tool, your fingers

just roll it from the window the the rear of the car, then the lower part you undo the screw that is covered by the chrome strip you roll off..

Im still retarded, can you elaborate further? Do you pull (like trying to roll it off) the back strip towards the front/back door handle?

I wanted to pull the panel off once while i had it all apart but it felt like id break something so i gave up.

take off the plastic bit around the window will help the 3 screws inside the door opening.
then the bottom chrome

Ok

Order of removal
1 - the rear sloaping chrome mould
2 - lower black and chrome mould
3 - black window surround plastic

You need to grip the chrome mould by standing towards the rear of the car with 2 hands of finger tips touching the plasic window surround and the pads of your fingers on the edge of the chrome mould and roll it away from the plastic mould towards the rear of the car at the same angle it is fitted.

Sometimes they can get fairly tight due to dirt and crap getting intot he grooves. it might be worth hoseing behind it a couple of times prior to trying.

It wont come off still as there are another group of screws behind the chrome mould
