Default Rubstrips...

How hard is it to remove the rubstrips from a mk2 fiesta?

I might be getting a mint mk2 fiesta and they will have to go... I just dont want to take them off to realise I shouldnt have bothered!

Does any one know of a step by step guide? As i have no body work experience....

Cheers

Pretty sure they're just stuck on. Get them nice and warm and pull carefully.

As far as I remember there are holes in the doorskin for the strips, so highly likely you'll need to fill and respray the doors.
