I'm trying to remove the trim that has corroded on my 1gb so that I can sand and paint them. I figured that they would just have a single clip and slide off, but they seem to be pretty stuck and cannot see anything with the door panel removed.

Undo the clip or screw at the end, then pull straight out.

ahah yea tell them half the battle ivan...
ok undo the one screw that is at the Bpost edge of the door, remover the Rearveiw miror,lower the window all the way down, slide the belt molding back about 3 inchs, then put your hand in the top of the door fraim via the window and slowly rotate the belt molding back and forth as you lift. Get it up a little on one end and slowly work your way down to the other so that you dont bend it. then make one last pass to remove it with out bending or fucking it up.
then do what you want to the belt molding Eg: paint and sant and put little sculls all over it or what ever.
Then pop it back on about 2 or 3inchs towords the bpost edge of the door. slide it forword and screw her back in and put the rear veiw back.
seems like a long list but it takes like 3 min to do it all. from start to finish. hope that helped out.

I think what you guys are referring to is sometimes called the dew wiper.

It's a belt molding because it's at your belt level. Just a term that stuck.
Ahah that was good coffee remi good coffee.

The belt line of a car separates the body from the greenhouse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_automotive_design"Beltline - The line going from the hood which usually follows the bottom edge of the windows and continues to the trunk." |

Half a can of spray-bomb primer and matte enamel, went better than expected.

The brand is Plasti-Kote Super Primer and Enamel Matte Black, from Lordco. I did 3 thin coats of the primer and Matte Black, seems to be holding up.
Are the belt moldings made out of an aluminum alloy covered in plastic/rubber stock or are they some sort of iron/steal alloy?... I swear I had to steal wool some "rust" off of them.

Ya when I stripped my first set there was some slight rusting too, but it came off easy with emery cloth.
So you did 3 coats total? or 3 coats primer + 3 coats enamal?

Chad, I'd go with 2 coats of primer, scuff it down a bit, mist one coast of paint and then two wetcoats.
