A monsoon is the plastic strip that runs along the top of the door covering the top of the window. Does it have a sharp broken edge on it! That's the only reason I can think of for failing a wof

Just removing it will get you through the wof as mentioned above

Removing them is easier said than done. They're usually glued, and I haven't heard of anyone who has a foolproof method of taking them off without leaving a mess. I've been put off buying Japanese imports because of those ugly things. I reckon if you have a business that can get rid of them and leave the doors looking pristine you'd be on to a winner.

Undo the screws, grab some fishing line or similar and "saw" through the double sided tape holding the monsoon down (it can be ripped off carefully also). Buy a Vanilla Wheel, put it in the drill and buff the remaining double sided tape off. Give the area a cut and polish, job done.
Done loads of them, all with 100% success. Sometimes you can tell a monsoon was fitted. because the underlying paint has faded less than the rest of the paint.
