Door Sill Trim

[ecarlcl]

I have an 02 V8.

I noticed that the door sill trim on my driver's door has come un-anchored where it snaps in. I was wondering if anyone knew how to completely remove it so I can re seat it. I've messed with it a little bit but didn't get too violent with it because I didn't want to break a tab off of it or something. I can take a picture If no one knows what I'm talking about.

Both sill pieces come off just by pulling on them. I just removed them to clean the jambs.

IIRC, there are 3 places where it's attached. I could be wrong though.

So just pull on it till it comes off? Any particular direction?

Sorry for the redundant question, I just don't want to break it.

Yep! If you already have, say, the right side that's coming up, then move in and pull straight up farther toward the center. Then after that one releases, move farther to the left, pull up, etc... I wouldn't just grab an end and start tearing away.

The whole front of it has come up. Both the interior side and the exterior side. The bottom of the door is starting to rub on it a little.

Thanks a bunch I've been concerned about it for a couple of days.

you're welcome. after you remove it, make sure the metal clips are attached to the sill trim piece before you try to attach it back onto the jamb. Otherwise you'll run into the same problem again.

Same thing happens to mine like the drivers side door sill trim is popped up a bit and makes it look bad. How do you plan on re attatching it?
