A rather annoying fault >:(. On opening the passenger door the other day the trim on the rear door fouled with the closed front door and partly ripped away. I think this was due to some corrosion underneath the trim that had raised it slightly. Again, rather annoying on a T plate. Anyway, has anybody got any suggestions of how to deal with this? Should I try to glue it back with some araldite or completely remove and replace with a new trim?

remove and replace - only solution

And try to cure whatever caused it to lift in the first place

Similar problem happened to my old S reg cdx..bought a replacement of fleabay.. about £10=00...neede to clean as much of the old foam adhesive off..got some trim stick (double sided black trim adhesive ) from Halfords and it stuck a treat..just make sure that replacement if second hand is flat and straight as they bend when removing..by the way they are pricey from Vauxhall..but that is no real surprise..best of luck with it

Yes it happens if the trim starts to lift. Solution is replacement.

Had this on an Astra once. The rear door trim for some reason lifted slightly. On openeing the door one day the trim fouled on the rear edge of the front door and ripped it off. Trouble is once its got a kink in it its hard to get it to stick back down flat anyway. New trim me thinks mate..... :y

Grateful thanks to everyone for their advice. What a great site this is! Is removal just a pull off with a pair of molegrips or should I take a bit more care? :-/
