Just an update - went to look at the clips the local dealer ordered in for me - they're the blue ones I can see part of hiding behind the remains of the trim still attached to the car
 Have now had to order a complete new trim (about 70 quid) which does, thankfully, at least come with the half dozen trim clips. It looks like the remains of the outer trim have been stuck back on rather poorly in the past, so what I've removed is only the very outer layer of the trim - I still have to remove the rest, which I am told slides across like the inner trim cover to get it off the clips. I'm not going to remove the rest till Saturday as (a) I'll have the new one to compare to by then (b) the weather strip is still sealing the door bottom so it's better off where it is, even though it looks a mess.....

hmm, subtley different take on this. My bottom door trim appears to be one piece. Removal required the extraction of two bungs either end of the inside of the door. removal of two little screws revealed and slide the whole exterior trim away from the hinge end and then off. Clips secure to trim then clips (with trim attached) slide over corresponding little posts on door panel.

Yeah, that's how it should be - mine had been bodged in the past with a glue gun!
Never took pics in the end of this, because the day after buying the trim my mirrors got stolen so the swapping of the trim got done by the bodyshop while they had it in to repair....

Old thread resurrection!
 My drivers door lower trim is damaged; while doing some pre-MJ checks I caught my leg on it a few weeks ago! She didn't have time, given the huge load of other jobs, to look at it while it was there. I found the plastic strip on the inside but it didn't want to slide.  It was quite loose at one end anyway and eventually just unclipped straight off; hopefully not too damaged to clip back on, otherwise it may need some adhesive or double-sided tape at the end of the job. This is the door trim, not bad but I know it's wrong:

Fortunately there's not much damage and I can probably ease the plastic channel back into it's proper shape and slide it back on securely in due course.  Part of it had quite a bit of dirt behind, where it hadn't been fixed fully flush against the door surface.
