Finally started to do this now I've replaced the two rear doors. I've had a set of aluminium checkerplate trims for a while and have a roll of orange builders plastic.
So I made new moisture barriers and fitted the new trims to the two replacement rear doors which are base model DX manual window style. The doors they replaced were also manual window but they'd been retrofitted with GX trims. Odd.
Anyway here are pics of the moisture barrier, and fitting the trim, to the RHR door.

I have used blue cloth tape for holding the plastic as I don't have any goop to use yet. And with the trim I've only half-fitted the supplied plastic clips as I don't like using plastic clips and intend to try nutserts and suitable rounded or flat head bolts.
The doors still need to be fully pulled apart to have all rubbers, etc. renewed and the skins given a repaint. The door in the pic is a silver (Toyota paint code 181?) and the equivalent LHR door I fitted is white (Toyota paint code 045).
I have the same trims for the front doors once I'm ready to do those.
The checkerplate trims are from a place making them here in Australia that was (or might still be) selling them via Ebay etc.
