Removing The Door Panel Front Trim

D - Door panel Front Trim

 

D1 - Lift the door handle and remove the front trim cap

       

 

D2 - Grab the door handle end and push the trim upward (as much as you can). While keeping the upward pressure, twist the UPPER part of the trim outward. This will snap free the trim from the FIRST clip. Repeat the step for the other 3 clips.

Note: These clips are often old and brittle, the break very easilly.

 

D3 - Pull the trim free from the front clip (the plastic clips are very dry, they break very easilly)

 

D4 - You can remove the clip's screw (it holds the doorskin to the door frame... it MUST be removed if you also want to remove the door skin)
