Hello,

Long time lurker but 1st time poster so please be kind. I've tried searching but haven't been able to find an answer (surprisingly!).

My driver's door has a small amount of rust (what I hope is just surface rust) on the bottom of the inner door arroyos the seal. To address it I need to remove the door seal.

Given the good condition of the door seal and the issues I've heard about with repo ones, I want to reuse the door seal but can work out how to remove I without destroying the seal - the seal's 'pins' seem to be stuck fast in the door and even a gentle tap on the pin from inside the door will not dislodge them (only seems to bend the plastic pin).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

ps I should add, it is a HQ ute.
