W124 lower door trim R&R
The trim strip at the bottom of the driver's door on my wife's 1987 300D has popped loose from two or three of its clips. I need to remove it, bend it flat (more or less), and put it back on. The FSM (88-800, "Removal and installation of trim on side wall") says to "press on" and "press off" but I don't know if they are talking about "pressing off" the trim strip from the clips or the clips from the sheet metal. Anyone have experience? I'd rather not break it any worse than it already is.
