Has any one got any idea how to remove the interior door trims.

What to look for, should I say. So that you don't break anything?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Ads
Going from memory it was simple enough but time consuming if you want to avoid damage. In the absence of the workshop manual, its just a matter of undoing all the various fixings one by one. Removing the armrest is quite tricky if you want to avoid damage, as you need to pull back the finisher at the front before you can get to the fixing screw. You quite often see damage in this area. In the main, the trim is held on with the push fit plastic fixings, which you just pull from the door frame (the odd one may break in the process). As with all cars, don't forget to disconnect the speaker wiring before you pull it away. You need to raise it to lift it off the door frame. No doubt I've forgotten something, but you shouldn't have any problems. If you need to replace the door card that is another matter, but again you can do it if you have the time, patience, glue and heavy duty stapler!
Cheers
