E34 "LOWER DOOR TRIMS"

[richard300]

Hi, noticed i have a little rust scab on the bottom of one of my doors on my 1992 5-series
to get to it best, i need to remove the rubber trim section that runs the length of the bottom of the door (the earlier type one)..... anyone know if this can be re-used after removal, or if a new part has to be purchased? and any tips to remove/re-fit the trim? and ideas, advive would be more than appreciated..... thanks

Have you had any luck sourcing these? If so where and how much if you don't mind me asking - mine are looking rather tatty now but atleast since they fell off I can see there is no rust!!

Looks like the just 'knock on'

Bump... did we ever get to the bottom of this, or is a case of give it a yank and see?

Seat backs would be my guest. Maybe make a new thread on it?

Looks like not replies at all.

Appears to be a common area to rust.

Not sure what the repair looks like, but talks about the strips often needing replacing sound like a pita? Spares appear to be running out, you can get about half of them (for std or m-tech) but at £60+ each from latvia and the like

Found this thread, but sadly the images are long gone by the looks.
