Removing the black exterior strip on the doors

[iSpyder]

Anyone know how these strips come off? The one on the passengers side front door is rusting real bad and I just wanted to pull it off. I'm hoping I can find one in a junk yard somewhere to replace it. Or if someone knows of a place where I can purchase something this obscure that would be great was well.

TIA

the stripe is secured to the plastic cladding from the rear...you have to remove the cladding then remove the stripe holders from the rear to replace....thing is, you will have to pop the cladding snaps off which you would then have to replace.

Thanks for the info Michael. I was afraid that the only way to remove the strips was to remove the section of body modeling first. You don't happen to know if those snaps are available at any old auto parts store? Or maybe there is something close that will get the job done.
