Door draught seals

I have got some new seals to fit my 4 door saloon...

At the lower part of each central pillar is a piece of trim which wraps around the seal for a few inches. This will need to be removed & replaced when the new seal is fitted
Is the trim glued in place? So should it be prised carefully off & then re-glued?

At the rear wheel arch, the seal runs under an aluminium trim but it's not obvious how this is removed.

Any advice from someone who has done this please.
Before I jump in with both feet & mess it up!

regards

Chris

Rear aluminium trim is screwed in place with self tappers. Easy to see when you get the side vinyl bits off.

As for the B post trim - good luck! Mine tore to bits as soon as I looked at it. Was more brittle than the contents of a bag of walkers. :lol:
I believe its clipped with similar clips to the door cards but memory is crap and it was prob 5 years ago I last looked. :lol:

Very many thanks for the good instructions!

Job is now done.

Luckily the B post trims stayed in one piece..
Thanks again
