Replacing a rubber door trim

gabyjane

Our delighful kitten has truly wrecked our back door rubber trim by using it to climb up..we will replace it but unsure where to get from, how much or whether we could do ourselves or not?
Pic attatched...very new house so not happy but done well seeing as that is the only damage we have incurred!
Thanks

Assuming that it is a double glazed door, I would go to my local double glazing company and ask about it. My dogs have pulled the rubber trim from the door a few times and using a flat bladed screwdriver I've managed to push it back in.

Looks like it just stuck on although doesnt look easy enough to just pull off! does anyone know how they are fixed on?
Thanks

Had same problem. I called up a local double glazing company and they came out and fixed it for about £25. But if I were you I'd wait for the kitten to grow up a bit before you put it right.

It's not stuck, there's a groove in the door that part of the trim is inserted into that holds it in place. Ease the trim out by hand - you may find it easy to do this at one of the corners of the door. You want something like these to replace it:

havent really got any advice but just wanted to say it brings back memories of various teeth marks in virtually every thing, and of arriving home from work not knowing what i would find smashed on the floor!!
