last time i removed one i used a screwdriver with a rag wrapped round it to lift the end nearest the bootlid off the stud, i then slowly worked my way along pulling from the rear forward towards me working from the back to the front

you need to take your time as if you rip them off an bend the metal insert they will never go back on straight

yes it will, mine leaked badly with ripped up ones. the problem is water gets on top of the door and pools there till it eventually gets past the seals. Oh and when you open the door you get a small flood of water  :grin:

mine was covered in silicone sealent when i got it, i decided to peel it off which then meant me getting wet on a number of occasions so it soon got siliconed back up untill i sort out a replacement
