Window whiskers removale

[western star]

I have played around with some old doors trying to find the right way for removing the window whiskers and all I do is bent them or screw them badly. I can see the way they lock in but when I go to take them out they seem to have a mind all their own. I am changing doors and the ones that are in my existing doors are only a couple of year old so I want to save and use them. What is the trick please.

I just keep working those tabs, keep doing each one abit at a time till the whole peice comes out, you just have to keep your cool, cause they can be ornery

OK, I'm dying to ask: what are "window whiskers"?

[western star]

If your windows haven't shaved for awhile..errrr oh never mind. You know when you roll your window down and it stops at the bottom of the window opening in your door? You will see whiskers or felt on each side of the glass sometimes rubber on the outside. This stops vibration and stops water from running freely down into your doors. It looks like fuzzy caterpiller fir. Thems are they.
