Question:
Does the installation of the beltline trim require any special tools? If so, and you tell me what I need in addition to the beltline trim to replace this myself?
Answer:
You can use standard plastic trim removal tools - or a flat bladed tool if you're very careful. If you are prying them off to replace with new ones you won't have to worry about clips breaking as they do come with the new trim - but if you are reusing the trim be very careful as the plastic clips may have become brittle over time and break easily.
