Hi All,

My driver's door b pillar trim has a dent in it . I have the new piece and the replacement seems straight forward, but I can't seem to get the old piece off.
I'm a bit afraid of just ripping it off :D as I'm sure there's a more civilized way. Searching the forums didn't bear fruit.

Thanks in advance...

The car is an '06 320 cdi.

Is the trim peace you want to replace the black moulding that runs along the back of the door frame ?
If so then this is haw its done
1 remove the moulding that runs along the top of the door . Do this by using a plactic pry bar and leaver it up at the end of the door , its clipped to the door there , then its held to the window seal and door by 4 clips . The window seal might come off with this moulding . Be careful not to mark the paint as this moulding can be tight.
2 pull back the outtor door seal and look for the 2 small screws that hold the damaged moulding on , they are tx 15 screw heads , take them out
3 open the window and twist the moulding off the door and slide if foward off the door .
