Which window trim are you talking about? Can you take a picture and highlight the pieces you are trying to replace?

The flat piece across the bottom of the window with the rubber edge that pushes against the window?

That piece is held on by clips....it snaps into place. You need to pry it off....however for those folks that are interested in using the same piece, I wouldn't recommend it. The piece gets slightly distorted and doesn't look too good when put back. Whenever my car is in the body shop to get some paint work done, which sometimes requires removal of this piece(s), I tell the body shop to replace them.

When you pry the piece off, clips will break and you will hear part of of the clip fall into the door. Don't be alarmed by this. The new piece just snaps on really easy.

Hope that helps.

Of course you can. Get it from a dealer...or have your bodyshop order it for you!
