    do u mean the chrome trim at the bottom of the windows on the doors? there is a screw towards the rear of each door behind the trim, un screw that and u should then be able to push the trim upwards as they are just on the doors with clips

    the chrome stays on the actual rubber thing, u can take them off, but to swap the whole trim off you need the rubbers aswell.

    Yeh I mean the rubber door sills. Now I know that there is a screw on each end of the strip. But I don't know how to get to the front screw of the front doors or the back screw of the back door. Is there anyway easier than taking the door trim off?

    for the rear doors the screw is underneath the window. you will need to either take off the rear door trims or take off the piece that runs up against the window on the inside and that will reveal the screw

    all done. for anyone who is still to do this mod, for the front of the front one you have to take off the mirror. there's no screw its just held on by the mirror.
    thanks for your help guys
