Very carefully

JFWY

For the doors you have to take your door panels off on the inside. Along the inside you'll see the little clips that anchor the trim to the door. If you have a manual I think there's a page that shows how all the trim is attached.

Where specifically? Just behind the doors or somewhere else? By the way, what car model/year are we talking about?

All of your trim is held on by clips.
Just be careful, if you break a couple clips it is probably not going to go back on right.

Yeah, it's a pain in the arse. I broke a couple taking some of mine off to fix rust spots. Thankfully I have some spare trim clips.

Kragen,Schucks,Checker(all the same, depends on where you live). Comes in a spray can. Here's what you'll be looking for...



It says not recommended for use on fiberglass and plastics, so if you get some just try it on a small spot to see how it performs on the trim. If it's no good then h: , but it works great on metals so it's good to have around in case you need it for preping rust jobs.
