remove your inside door panel and you will see the clips that hold the trim on. then you can slide them off.

any decent quality body filler will work. I used USC because I had some around. Just stay away from the cheap/generic stuff.

You really only need a little bit.

painting your wipers with the rest of that black trim paint is a good idea too :thumb:
Pretty much every civic over 10 yrs old I;ve seen has the black paint chipping off :x

Just thought id add, mine were faded but not that cracked - using tyre shine really brings them back to life, it works great 8)

Baby oil works too, but it's only a temp thing. 5-7 days.
