Removal Procedure

    Object Number: 284111 Size: SH

    Important: The outer belt sealing strip/reveal moldings (1) are retained in the same manner for the front and the rear door. Both of the moldings have the following components:

       • Single stage clips that retain the moldings to the door belt
       • Locator pins in order to ensure proper positioning
    The only difference between the front door and the rear door is the starting point for removal:
       • The starting point for the front door is at the rear.
       • The starting point for the rear door is at the front.

  1. Lower the window to the full down position.

    2. Important: If you use a metal tool, pad the tool with tape in order to protect the paint.

  2. Use a flat thin-bladed tool in order to gently pry the molding (1) while rotating the molding outboard.
