lower door mouldings?

[Adrian E]

OK - finally got a chance to have a go at this this evening

Managed to get the black trim slid off on the inside and uncovered 2 large headed screws - 1 at each end.

Undid those and the plastic part of the trim came off on the outside very easily.

I can now see why the trim was hanging off - by the looks of it the clips where the screws come through are covered in shoe glue to hold the trim in place!

The rubber weather strip is still attached to the car, but I'm not sure if that's part of the metal bit its attached to and whether that should simply pull off with a bit of brute force, or if there's a more subtle way to remove it?

I can see what appears to be some pale blue plastic at regular intervals that may once have been plastic trim clips, but they are all rather uniform looking so maybe not?

I'm wondering if the plastic bits covered in glue are expanding retainers, which are the things I can get from the dealer for a couple of quid? Just not sure how the trim should be retained along its length......
