door trims problem!

Post by the_house123 »

hi guys, this is a very odd problem i have.
iv taken off my door trims a couple of times for new speakers etc, however after taking the left door trim off yesterday to put in some tweeters, i now canot seam to get the trim back on the door.

As in it feels as there is something in the way at the top. (where the trim slots into the door)

Does anyone have any suggestions of a way of inserting it properly or at least an idea why this happened?
cheers

i don't know if i am going to be clear enough but here it goes.

see if the upper part of the trim that goes across the door's glass is twisted or so from the inside, if it is twisted it will prevent the trim from going downwords and locking into place. maybe one of the "pins" attaching this trim to the rest of the door trim got twisted outwards and preventing the lockup.

awesome, i found that one of the "pins" were busted, making the trim unable to pop back in.
so to solve tat, i removed it, used the window method and now its all sorted
cheers guys
