Removing the outer window whiskers from door

[Woodstock]

Have removed the glass and attached the rear guide that was missing from the glass and reattached the front guide that was wedged in place with black electrical tape??  Both of these pieces were re-attached with "thin felt" and epoxy. 
Would like to replace both of the window whiskers.  The inner whisker was easily removed however the outer whisker removal procedure is not nearly as obvious.
Any help with providing the best procedure to remove the outer whisker would be appreciated.

It is best done by means of plastic/nylon wedges such as these. Less chance of marring the paint finish...  The clips have barbs that makes them sit quite tight.

Be aware there are many bad repro whisker strips being offered...  look closely at the original ones and try to find good matches

Take pics of your whiskers before you start. It is not too bad using a screwdriver to remove the old whisker from the door. Some clips will stay with the whisker and some will stay attached to the door. Don't worry about damaging the old whisker just be careful with the clips. I purchased my whiskers from The MB classic center because they will cut them for you and ship them to minimize damage. Be very careful with the whiskers because the aluminum bends very easily. Measure the whisker length from the door exactly.  Attach all the clips to the door for proper spacing then gently install the whisker without bending it. The way the clips work is to be easy to install but difficult to remove.  Good Luck!

I believe that these pieces are normally sold by the meter. I use a bolt cutter to slice off the length I need because it makes a nice clean cut. Don't try to cut them with a hack saw or anything like that or you will find it doesn't work very well.

I see in your picture that the outer door chrome strip is still attached. You will want to remove that first. You can remove it by inserting a long screwdriver underneath it from the end lengthwise at the rear of the door and gently pry up while working your way foreword.

Thanks for all the useful advice.
