Hey guys need your help again...

How the hell do I remove the chrome from around the top of the door without damaging it?

Cheers

It's really stainless steel. Open the door and gently tap the edge off with a hammer and a block of wood starting at one end and work your way around. You can also pry it with a screwdriver but it will scratch paint on the door frame and possibly bend the trim so be careful.

It comes off easier than it goes on..
I would leave it there, saves scratching the paint getting it back on (yes I've done it, once...)
