Quick question on replacing door rubbers

[mktommo]

I've been a little quiet on here recently but doing some minor stuff in the background. This is probably a really basic question to help with replacing the door rubbers along the bottom of both doors.

There's a soft rubber seal but also a harder plastic piece that partially covers it (photos attached). The soft rubber clearly just peels off but can anybody let me know about the harder black plastic piece that I also want to replace please? Is there a secret screw / unclipping technique / etc please?

Thanks in advance.....

The inner piece you just have to tug very firmly. The plastic clips are beefy and the strip is strong. I've not broken either on a number of different cars yet.

By the way. Definitely worth changing as a hole in this area lead to a leak.

Or if you want to try saving some pennies google Sugru - it's amazing stuff and will plug that gap if done very carefully, probably in layers.

Thanks @mrscalex = that's helpful. I've tried this with other bits and found out after the event there was a clip that I'd broken! I'll give it a bit of elbow grease........

I'm investing in the car anyway so any bits I'd rather replace for new (assuming its not going to cost half the price of the car) - it'll last longer and improve the looks a little too. Thanks again

Sounds good to us both! I'm heading towards redundancy that will mean an early semi-retirement (at the ripe old age of 51). Will mean more time for the important stuff (like zedding) next year
