Stuck with outer window sweeps
Ok, so I searched and didn't find what I needed. I'm replacing the outer window sweeps but I can't get the whole thing unscrewed. THe part I can't get is between the mirror and the black triangle piece in front of the window. There's one screw holding it in and I can't figure out how to get the black triangle piece off much less get the room to unscrew the new sweep in. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yeah installing these is a pain in the a**! 3 nuts hold the black triange piece in. First you have to take the 2 screws off that hold a piece of black weatherstripping. At first its shapped like a block then narrows down and goes along the door.
Once you got those screws off just gently loosen it up so you can acces two nuts that are securing the triangle piece.
Then there is one more nut holding it to the door. Just take that off and then you can get the triangle piece out. Now would be a good time to replace them if they are bad. With that out you can easily access the screw holding the sweep in!
