You can buy new locking strips for not too many $ rather than spraying the old ones

Window doesnt have to come out, but, one problem you may encounter depending how brittle and perferated the strip is, it may break when you peel it out.

i farken got chrome strip, brand new, only $18 for the back, but i didn't put it in when the window was goin in after painting, and it's been gathering dust for like 3 monhts, have tried several times to fit it, but can't manage to get it, i think i'll try when it's hot cos the rubber and strip gets real easy to play with.

did you also try hot water?? Makes the rubber more pliable. Combination of hot soapy water would be ideal

I have a source named mr x that it can be hoard to take out and there is danger of chipping the windscreen.
is this so???

and if the strip breaks...u mean snap in half, not that the old cover stoarts to peel off??
thanks guys. might give it a try when i can afford to pay someone to do it after i fuck it up.

THinking maybe ive missed somehting here, you do mean the chrome plated strip dont you??? I seriosuly cant see the big deal. Pop the little joiner off, get a screwdriver under one end and peel it away, easy as that. By breaking i mean the strip literally snapping in half, but yeah the coating will come off, the shit on mine was flying everywhere and fast, pretty harsh if it got you in the eyes.
Theres no way you can chip the windscreen? either side of the strip is the rubber seal? dont think i understand you there.
Basically, just do it mate, the worst that can happen is you snap it. Just go and buy a new one. no biggy
goodluck
