  8. REMOVE FRONT DOOR WINDOW FRONT FRAME MOULDING LH


    1. Put a 4 mm (0.157 in.) drill bit into a drill.

    2. Wind tape around the drill bit approximately 5 mm (0.197 in.) from the tip of the drill, as shown in the illustration.

      Tech Tips

      Tape the 4 mm (0.157 in.) drill bit to prevent the drill bit from going too deep.

    3. Lightly press the drill against each of the 6 front door window frame moulding rivets labeled (A) and (B) shown in the illustration, and drill off each rivet's flange.

      Tech Tips


      • The rivets labeled (A) are the installation rivets of the front door window frame moulding.

      • The rivets labeled (B) are the installation rivets for both the front door window frame moulding and front door belt moulding.

      • Do not remove the front door window belt moulding's rivet labeled (C).

      Note


      • Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the rivet to turn and result in the rivet not being drilled through.

      • Do not pry the rivets with the drill, because this may cause damage to the installation holes of the rivets or the drill bit.

      • Be careful of the drilled rivets as they may become hot.

    4. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the drilled areas.

    5. Detach the clip and remove the window frame moulding.
