Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / September 2007Driver's door window molding removal
Hi, I have an '04 3500 Ram with factory Towing mirrors. I broke the driver's side mirror and have a replacement. The problem is how do I remove the plastic molding to effect the swap without destroying it? Two of the 3 mounting screws are clear, but the top door molding is probably held by clips. In which direction should I apply force and how? Steve > Hi, > I have an '04 3500 Ram with factory Towing mirrors. I broke the driver's [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > clips.

It is attached to the door panel. To take it off of the door panel, you must first take off the door panel. Hope this helps, sorry if I misunderstood your ???
