Need help with replacing lower driver door trim
The outside lower door trim moulding on the driver side has 2 clips which have broken off and its flapping from off the side of the car. I'd love to be able to do this myself instead of paying $200 for 10 minutes worth of work at the dealership. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to 1. remove the old trim (is it just clips and I can simply pull the piece off the car?) and 2. how do I install the new piece? Is it just clips that snap back into place? Just to clarify, its not side moulding, but the lower trim moulding at the bottom of the door.
Thanks so much for your help!

My passenger side lower door trim of my 07 ES350 is handing off. The clips are NOT BROKEN, they are completely in tact, but the trim is hanging off.
It happened because my father and wife open the door on grass, and when they close it the trim gets stuck and pops off.
All the clips are in place, but I can't seem to slide the clips back into the proper grooves on the trim.
Can anyone help me or show me how to do this properly?
I want to pull the trim off all the way to preserve it, and hopefully Lexus can pop it all back in place, but considering the fact that the clips are still stuck to the car and no pieces are broken, I would rather try to fix it myself.
Any DIY tips or help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone know what clips are needed for this replacement?
My clips are broken. I see one of those Universal sets available at Amazon, but unsure what clips are needed
