I would like to remove the fabric covered rubber tubing that goes around the doors on the inside. I am sure it has a name but....
If anyone has replaced these, a little guidance would be appreciated.

It looks like the headliner needs to be removed, or at least half removed. I have never done this and not sure where to start. At the front by first removing the sun visors and dome light? Does the headliner just snap off at the top of the windshield?

At the rear of the door openings there is a strip that goes from the floor to the headliner and I assume this needs to be removed. It looks like nails holding these pieces on. Just pry them off? Will they go back?

The interier was redone by a previous owner with the exception of these fabric cover tubing and they look pretty bad.

The fabric covered rubber round is called "windlace".

The headliner usually is held in place around the edges by a stiff
strip ("Teazel strip", I believe it is called.) that goes into a groove
around the edge just above the headliner.

You're referring to "windlace", avaiable from J.C. Whitney and (better yet)Restoration Specialties(http://www.restorationspecialties.com/).
Yeah, it's all confabulated with the headliner, which is streched over some brackets with teeth F & R., and both sides, and supported by "bows" in the middle.
Just pry off the side moulding; underneath is a "tack strip", which is, indeed, reuseable.

Nice car, love black when it's clean, show some pics. You can get windlace in choice of colors from uphostery supply shops. A auto trimmer in you area also has it and I find them very friendly people. Keith
