Searched and couldn't find any info.
I have a 92 Hatch and im trying to remove the window trim on the hatch, the doors, and around the rear quarter windows. Any existing writeup's or FAQ's i missed when searching...? Any help is appreciated.

find yourself a service manual search piratebay or demonoid just type in nissan or 240sx.
Don't mess with it if its not broken. Those old trims harden and are ready to break very easily.

Door trim has a one screw(if i remember correctly) at the end of it and just snaps on and off. I removed it when I was replacing my doors on my old car to interchange for the best one.

On your quarter windows the rubber is permanently attached to the window. If the rubber is clean and you can manage to remove the window without damaging it have it done. If you cannot any good paint person will be able to slight lip the rubber up so the spray will go under it.

Honestly going down the road of quarter window rubber replacement i.e. full quarter window replacement is expensive. New quarter windows with rubber cost $450-500 per set.
No you cannot buy the rubber separately. As far as the trims go around the front windshield and rear its a lot of work and best left to a glass guy.

I did a full glass out paint job. The trim shit winds up being quite expensive. I have spent $600 on new factory rubber and trim and that is at hook up prices. Oh and that is not including the $500 I will be spending on a set of quarter windows.
