Same, gotta get on those too.

I am pretty sure those are accessible by popping the hood and just screwing a bolt off, and the whole wwiper blade comes off.

teal_dx, what do you have to do to take the mirrors off? I have that chipping as well =/.

I work in the Air Force, so I can get it on base. I think you can get it at shoe stores like Redwing.

Question, when you put the trim back in, does it just pop right back in?

Thanks.

- Wed Oct 27, 2010 10:27 am #220261 I painted my door trims while they were still on the car, but will prolly do it right one of these days. Looks ok from a distance but way better than the shiny metal and black mess it was before.

mirrors come off, there's 3 bolts holding them on behind the plastic triangle piece on the inside of the door.

Awesome thanks

I did the roof trims today, going to try to do windshield wipers front/rear, mirrors, and door trim.

But there's rain in my area lately and no garage

- Fri Oct 29, 2010 12:15 pm #220653 Should I push these clips up with pliers like someone else said
Im not tryin to break these.

I was having the same issue today and I had to remove the black "pilar" thing vertical to the door end, after doing that I just took a deep breath and pulled and sure enough they side right off towards the rear of the car and left the clips right in the door, when I was done I just lined up the grove on the trim with the first clip and slid it back on towards the mirror

hope this helps anyone in the future... teals right, although I think it made it look 16 years younger haha

It's my CIVIC duty to stay true to the D series

- Thu Jul 12, 2012 8:35 am #310722 sorry for resurrecting an old post...but if there is no rain coming anytime soon can i roll with the window trim and roof moldings off ?
