are there any guides to remove the trim from around the window frame of a door ?
this is a job i haven't done before so does anyone know how it's done without damaging the trim pieces .....
cheers Mick.

Are you in an urgent rush Mick? I'm gonna be binning some doors soon just because they're taking up space so I can take pictures on how not to do it. Although it wont be straight the way...
I'll still do it though as it will help in the future

The chrome/shadowline trim along the lower edge of the window levers off,it's held with those 'W' shaped spring clips.If you are worried about damaging the paintwork on the door,drop the window glass and work from the glass side.
I think,it's been a while since I stripped a door shell,the upper trim presses over the door frame,a bit like gutter trim.This bit is delicate and difficult to remove without kinking.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
