Removing Front Door Seals

Post by notlob » Thu Oct 17, 2013 6:45 pm

Am currently undertaking a little rust prevention on the door bottoms and could really do with removing or loosening the door seals as they pass along the bottom of the door.

They appear to be secured to pegs which push into the bottom of the door. I could pull the rubber off the pegs but am not confident that I could get the rubber back over to refit. The alternative is to grab the pegs through the rubber with pliers or something similar to pull them out of the door but I'm not sure if they are designed to pull out.

Anyone out there any experience of this and able to point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Dave

You can carefully remove the rubber and leave the clips in place. As you pull off the rubber just stretch it forwards and back to ease it over the clip and when you refit it just do the opposite. Put one end of the hole in the rubber then stretch the hole so the clip goes back in.
Just be patient do it slowly.
