Does anyone know how to, or are there any guides, on removing the rubber door trim on the G-class? A picture is posted below showing which piece that I am referring to.

Thank you.

I know people have had there rocker panels painted….regarding moving the rubber. It is (very) tightly slide into rails that hold the rubber.

If I recall, the last person who had this done was charged 4 hours of labor by the paint shop to remove and replace the rubber after the painting was complete.

I have the night package plus option and everything on my G is dark, except these dang rockers…:let me know if you find a simpler solution.

Good Luck

Damn. But thank you for the info.

I have the original W463 so it may be different than yours. We will see.

Congrats OP, looks like you are in luck!!

Yes, but how do I remove the lip? I tried examining how to do so but it is quite firmly in place.

starting at one end using something small like screw driver to push it outwards.
you might wanna clean it first and/or use warm water to soften the rubber.

You mean just pry it off? Is it easy to snap back into place?

rudys_500

yes and yes

Is there any adhesive?
