removing and replacing door hard pocket chrome trim
« on: July 20, 2018, 14:11:58 »
hello
I have my door panels out to recover.

are there any tips on removing and re installing the chrome trim on the hard pockets?   
It appears to be crimped on

thank you - matt

Crimping clips are on the inside.  You simply pry the fingers back a bit to loosen the grip.
Pull the chrome trip up slowly and little by little to avoid bending.
