REPLACING DOOR PILLARS

Hey guys so my drivers door pillar is beginning to rust and i just purchased a new one on ebay. Does anyone have any pointers on removing and installing the new one. I see that they are held up by double sided tape.

Thanks

If its held up with tape, then use a heat gun and a plastic pry tool and gently pry it while heating EVENLY . Don't stay at one place for too long or it might damage something.

If it will not release properly with heat just hit it with some WD40 and that will release the adhesive. Be patient when removing them. Let the heat and oil do its work.


Also, send me a PM on where you got those because, (who you got them from), I need some also.


Let us know how you made out getting the old ones off.
