    Red face vn door trim removal

    Gee i must be the dumbest vn owner out there, when removing the door trim to replace a door handle ( how rare is that? ) How do you get the trim past the door locking knob??? i guess it (the knob) would unscrew but it's held in place by the square surround.........I know there must be a simple answer, but i'm buggered if i can see it.

    if your talking bout the thing tha tpops up and down when the door is locked or unlocks, you will need a flathead screwdriver, and some good aim and u put the flat head ti the side of the orage piece and lever it off, it will iether unclip and pop off or break... once that is off, unscrew the screw in the black peice and it will lift right out..

    thanks guys, i own a crappy point-and-shoot camera: sony dsc w80. you can take a good photo with nearly any camera, just make sure you've got it on the right setting (in this case macro sufficed) and sharpen it in photoshop when you've transferred it over
