Door panel repair

[BillD]

Thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it. It appears that the lower 1/3 section I have to remove will peel off easily, it is glued on not sewn. The backer board seems to be in good shape. What I cannot figure out is how to release the chrome strip that separates the two sections? I have included a photo to show how the chrome strip and how the 2 sections (upper and lower, both made from vinyl) meet. The seam between the 2 pieces are hidden by the chrome strip. I am more than happy too pay someone to do this rather than risking wrecking 2 good panels, if that is the best alternative. Thanks again.

----The chrome strip should have pointed tangs that extend thru the board and are then bent over to hold the strip to the board. They are easy to straighten out then just pull the strip off.....Bill S

Bill, Thanks for the help. I checked when I got home from work and no prongs through the back. It is the original board in the back. The chrome strip must be glued on in some way.
