I have one that is split on the pass side where it meets the front fender I have one coming via ebay but I do not see how to remove it. Any info would be VERY helpful .

 

i have the same problem, except mines probably not as bad as yours, yet, lol any help would be good

 

I HOPE that when i get the replacement from ebay I can 'eyeball' the part and see how it attaches and what to remove, if I get the part before i get a response i will let you know .

EDIT: nice a fellow 2004 LS owner .

 

haha oh yeah, theres a few around here, i think it would probably be in there with little clips that you just muscle off but im not competely sure on that one

 

id advise to buy a full set of clip/retainers aswell. with some careful and delicate prying you could manage to save some , but unfortunatly most of the clips on the bottom will break. pretty much one time use clips

along the top there will be a series of christmas tree clips (like the ones that hold on interior door panels), use a trim removal tool to pry until they pop.. be careful and ont pry up into your 1/4 panel and dent it tho. and on the bottom are some differnt type, that will clip on the vehicle foirst then snap in between to plastic parts ( theses are the ones that break)

similar to the lower clips: http://www.toolrage.com/ProdImages/WEF-3044.jpg

 

There's little circle shaped indents in the rocker under the weather stripping spot welds you drill em out
