plastic pieces, screw it, or glue it?
Hello,
There are rather large plastic pieces right inside either door, at the TOP, directly behind the weather stripping. These pieces are about 3 or 4 inches wide, and run along the windshield and the door...these parts are sagging BADLY, on my car. ;_;
Does this part screw on, or glue on? I know there's a small pad under them (I know cause I can see it o_o) I'm afraid to mess with it, without first asking how some of you might fix it, however I want to get this dealt with before something flies off and hits me in the head.
Thank you

The plastic trim that runs along the inside top of the door uses speed nuts to attach to the cardboard backing of the interior door panel. Study this tech article to first remove the door panel and plastic trim together and then remove/repair the plastic trim.

Slide it forward, there are little clips and you slide it out. I don't know how to describe that, but I had to do that to remove my headliner. Grab the part that's on the roof and push it towards the front of the car, and then you'll end up buying new plastic mounts if you want it to look new again, I figured it didn't look too bad, so I left it. There are maybe 3 or 4 plastic clips that that piece slides on to. If I had a pic, I'd show it to ya.

There are about 10 clips, 5 on each side. They're used only for the headliner and they're only available from the dealership, to the tune of about $1-2 each. They'll probably have to be special ordered. Do a search for headliner clips, the part numbers have been posted before.
