Title: Removal of rubber seal along sill
Post by: ajsphead on 26 May 2015, 17:11:24: Having a rustathon. I need to remove the metal backed rubber seal that runs along the length of the sill which the lower edge of the doors seal against. A quick search suggests that the rubber bit just unclips but I need to get the metal backing off too. How is it fixed onto the car ?

Thanks
