Fitting outer door belts

[Sno 15]

Was wondering if there is a 'How to' thread on here about installing outer door belts as I havnt been able to find one. Can anyone help out with instructions on fitting them please. Ive found tips and pics on inner belts but not outers. Photos would really help too as I have no clue about this.

 

Cheers

Havent got round to mine yet but i believe they are done with clips that also hold the stainless trim to the door.

That's what I suspected and couldn't figure out how to get the trim off without damaging it. Probably obvious and I just cant see it LOL

I think the only way of doing it is to pull the mirrors off that way you dont bend the trim i just put mine in but i dont have any mirrors in yet and it was easy as to do but im sure if im wrong someone will correct me

Think your spot on there jca4. Theres a nut to undo at each end as well. Mine were corroded and difficult to get off.

Chrome or black trim 7mm nut on end at mirror accessed inside door, these do rust and if unlucky will snap, if this happens when reattaching I driil out and arildite glue new stud in. and phillips head screw at b pillar end, take off mirror two screws on top of door frame and drill out pop rivits under bailey channel

instead of drilling the rivits out just undo the window track bolt at the bottom of door and pull out in one

Thanks for the advice. Think I might practice this on a spare door

If you can, you'll be an expert when you finished. 

You'll also say "that was pretty easy" 

So dont stress about it, it is easy.
