Default How do I remove the weather strip retainer?

Hi!

I've experience a leak in my car and am looking to purchase a new d-side retainer for the car. I however -- don't know how to take it off.

Any insight on this is greatly appreciated.


Thank you.

Is this part damaged? If it leaks it may be because the window does not seal
against the seal properly. The window can be moved against the seal, up and inward if required and it would be a lot easier than fitting a new seal which may not be required.

The actual seal is somewhat damaged by the leaking area. It needs replacing. Also -- for future reference, how would I go about adjusting my window? Via inside the door panel?

I did this PDF on window adjustment some years ago. CLICK
I'm guessing that the part of the seal above the door is glued on, that's what it looks like when I study mine.
When the door is closed the top of the glass hits that seal, moves it out the way and the seal comes down again to affect a seal on the edge of the glass.

I guess I'll replace the retainer since I already bought it. Know some good glue to use for fitting the retainer in?

It appears that there are small torx head screws to remove.
