Window trim removal
Does anyone know how to remove the window trim? I looked up the closest video i could find and the person said i should just be able to pull it off. Well i tried that and ended up bending the part closest to the rear.
Does anyone know how to remove the part without bending it or breaking? I'm in the process of wrapping my car and it will make wrapping the door much easier. |

Given the expense of wrapping a car, maybe if you buy the part from BMW you'll be able to see how it attaches and hence reduce the risk of damage? Plus, if you still damage it, you have a replacement ready to fit...

EDIT: I actually found it. It seems there's a screw under the weatherstripping where it bent for you. https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...strip/KVVvVhdd |

So the trim on the door below the window is called a "belt" moulding. This is very easy to remove. Just roll the window down and pull on it.
Keep in mind.... on bmw the black (chrome for not sport package) is separate from the rubber. Will pull out separate. If this happens. Don't worry. Just slide it back in. Now the trim on the roof rail to where your door closes to... pull the body side weather strip off. There willl be bolts in there. Take those bolts out. And it comes right out. The trim around the qtr panel window. That's all part of the window. So to remove that. Have the window pulled out. You can not remove the trim without removing the qtr glass. It's one piece. |
