the door trims just pull off. start at the bottom. at the top there is like a lip that holds it in over the top of the door. so when you pull out all the little plastic things from the door. the have to push the trim up to get it out. might need to hit it a little bit hereand take out the little black bit where where the side mirrors are. traingle peice. should jst pull of too. take that out before the door trims come off. the dash is screwed on. there is a guide on calaisturbo.com for that. and for completely redoing ur interior so maybe check out there

no you have to tak ethem of first. the handle has two big screws under it at each end. there tucked into the big holes on the bottom side of the handle. the little opner piece and the unlocking part have a black frame around them. you can just pull that off or use a screw driver or something to lever it off. and the window winder. yes the window winder. push the trim back in so you can see inbetween a little black circle and the back of the handle. there is a little silver U shaped pin. turn the handle so that the U is upside down then push out the pin with a screw driver. small as possible here. i used one of the really tiny ones with the spinning tops. watch the pin. it disapears at the drop of a hat. dont let it fly away. speakers come off front doors to if you havent gathered that already.

if you dont want to use screwdriver for window winders, My ex-hubby (big wuss) found that you can buy window winder puller-offers.... Meh me I use the 2 screwdriver trick.... But thats cause Im better

The inside door opener handle does not get removed as it is not attached to the trim itself but the door, same as the lock switch you just pop the frames off with a flathead screwdriver and you'll be cookin (watch out for the triangle pieces where the mirror is because these are very brittle by now and snap easily).

Clean the items you want to dye well and let them dry before painting. Then apply many light coats of dye maybe 5 or so (letting it dry between each coat) and then if you feel it could do with another coat or 2 do that. Then let it dry in the sun for about 2 hours minumum.
