The best place to start is at the bottom. Just pull the pink clips out. You'll have to remove the door strut arm thingy (real specific, I know). Just take the plastic cover off of it and slide the pin out.

The door panel doesn't have to come off or any of that nonsense. Just pull straight down on the rubber and you'll see pink clips pop out. Work your way around the door.

It's called a door check. yes pop all the clips out, then remove the pin.

I wouldn't buy a used weatherstripping as I broke nearly 20% of the clips removing my old one. Brand new ones come with new clips.
