The method for removing window trim strips is: 1. Open the car door and locate a screw near the lock area inside the door, then remove this screw; 2. Lower the window glass, lift the right-hand section of the bottom trim strip upwards, and pull it horizontally towards the rear of the vehicle. The maintenance methods for car windows include: 1.

Removing the window trim is actually not difficult. I would start by preparing the tools, including a heat gun or hair dryer, and a plastic pry bar to avoid scratching the car body. Remember to clean the area around the trim first to ensure there is no dust. Then, heat it for a few minutes to soften the adhesive, and carefully pry it up bit by bit from the edge using the pry bar. This process shouldn't be rushed, as it may damage the window seal or leave scratches. After removal, clean any residual adhesive with alcohol. I've modified my car before—the tools didn't cost much and can be bought at a hardware store or auto parts shop. If you have doubts, check online tutorials or ask a friend first to avoid taking unnecessary risks. This method saves money and offers flexibility, making it suitable for those who want to upgrade or replace old trim. However, it's best done on cloudy days, not under strong sunlight. Safety first—wear gloves to prevent burns. That's all the steps—just stay calm while working.
