I'll make picture of the (winning) procedure for all to see !! "it needs some intelligence to undestand you may not have enough"

It’s hard to believe that no one else on this form has removed any parts like this before, good luck 🤞

especially if they rust, I can't believe i'm the only one... that would be such bad luck  "it needs some intelligence to undestand you may not have enough"

Can you post photo of the affected one on your RR ?

will get a picture tomorow at sun up (I mean when I'll wake up...) ! "it needs some intelligence to undestand you may not have enough"

Ok, that will be good….help me understand exactly where they are supposed to fit.
What model RR ?

It's the exterior black frame at the top of the doors, the early ones like yours didn't rust as much as the later ones, my 2002 was mint, my 2012 was rusty...!!!  Pete

Ok Pete thanks.
You have me curious about the trims….i just finished painting my Vogue and can’t recall any trims like that. I striped the doors down completely before prepping them too, must need better glasses. 🤣

Here are the close-ups

I wonder if you could carefully mask it off & re-paint in situ?

I can see the problem….steering wheel on wrong side🤣🤣.
Nah just joking, yes you could easily rub down with 3m 600 grit w/d paper and mask up…put semi-gloss paint on as JCW said.

I know, but
- I'd need the exact same satin finish black...
- it wouldn't get rid of the rust under, would it?
- it would be bound to resurface.

and lastly ... not at all compliant with my OCD mindset I know !



As for the wheel side, it is indeed shocking on a british car, yet so much more practical to use on the right side of the road (pun intended) [/list] "it needs some intelligence to undestand you may not have enough"

IMHO waste of time trying to repaint that, the corrosion is coming from the back, around to the front, unless you took them off and got all the corrosion front and back off you are flogging a dead fatty, it will come back straight away...

Some people put wind deflectors on which adhere to that part and cover up the unsightly corrosion...  Pete

Nah,
I can't cover it up and forget about it...
It just wouldn't right !

(with the voice of Ms Patmore from downton abbey) "it needs some intelligence to undestand you may not have enough"

Out of sight, out of mind...lol....

Anyway have you got the old one off yet..??

Any clues on the new one apart from those clips low down, does the top part have any fixings..?? Pete
