In the parts diagrams they are just called 'Moulding' with following part numbers (but check using your VIN) but on the rear doors the front one is called 'Decor strip' and the rear one 'Moulding'

 

Front left door 8666F2 (or 8666FG)

Front right door 8666F3 (or 8666FE)

Rear left door - decor strip 8666G2 (or 8666FL), moulding 866G0 (or 8666FN)

rear right door - decor strip 8666G3 (or 8666FJ), moulding 8666G1 (or 8666FK)

Below is Citroen's procedure where they call the moldings tapes and it looks a bit like fitting wall paper. Use a heat gun (hair dryer ?) to warm the mouldings so the glue on the back melts a bit. Remove the moulding. Clean any old adhesive off the door. Position the new moulding top and bottom and use a spreader to smooth it on the door. Then fold over the edges.

Detach - Remove : The rear door lateral tapes (28 front one, 29 rear one) ; Using a heat stripper.

4. Re-assembling

4.1. The rear door lateral tapes

 

Clean the bonding zone with a degreaser : index "J1".

Position : The rear door side adhesive panel (28) (At "s" and "u" - top and bottom).

Apply the adhesive tape (28) over the entire length using a felt spreader.

With your hands, progressively fold the edge of the adhesive ( as "t").

The parts diagrams can be seen free on-line on service.citroen and the procedures can also be seen on-line but there is a charge. Older versions of them (up to 2013) were available on 3 dvds through ebay as the Citroen service box. To see the online version, register on the service.citroen site as an other professional non emergency services and as a member of the Citroen Owners Club. http://service.citroen.com/do/changerParametres you might need to select your language first.

An example of the dvd version but it will not cover your engine since that came out after 2012 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-SERVICE-BOX-SEDRE-2012-EPC-TIS-WDS-FULL-VERSION-NEW-/283043341543
