3 door quarter window rubber trim - how do I get it off?

Does anyone know how to remove (or lift up a bit) the rubber trim around the little side windows on a 3 door - the ones next to the hatch opening. I have a bit of rust at the bottom of the window, and need to lift or remove the trim to be able to treat it and do the touching up, but I just do not kn...

Re: Tailgate Window Trim - removal and refitting 214i 1992 3

Thanks every one. Finally fixed the trim and leaks. The trim just pulls off (very easy on this car as it had been refitted following the repair!). I bought several new fittings from Rimmer, but some were no longer available. The water was sitting in the recess that is covered by the trim, then seepi...

Re: The Pride of Longbridge Rally 2011

We will be coming with the 214i.

If our Midget counts (I think its engine and gearbox are from Longbridge) we will bring that too.
