Yes its removable, never done it myself though. As far as am aware I may be wrong the strip is more decorative.

It can be removed by hand, not sealed.

Yes, it is decorative only.

is it re-useable?

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

For the sake of 25 quid buy a new one especially if you have went to the hassle of removing the window. That's what I would do but each to there own though.

Thats's what i would do, it should just come away.

[johnnyboy666 195 1 Cars]

I was thinking more for ease of painting, rather than for removing the glass

[farmer 328 1 Cars]

As was said before it was decorative only. I have never removed it but am sure it should just pull off. With it being 20 year old rubber ,like most if the rubbers it will proberly split.

yer just lifted the corner and it pulled away..did not split and looks in good nick...there was a load off rust under the seal.rust treatment and repaint..i will let you know how i get on putting it back.....
