Help for removing rear door trim & tips on parint touch ups please

[lobedowg]

hey guys,
new here. I've got a 92 VP sedan and was wanting to take off the trim on my rear door, so I can have a go at popping out a bump/scratch on the car's bodywork before giving it a little touch up. Haven't tried this before. I've popped all the clips, but would appreciate some further advice. In particular I need to know how to get the window winder off and if there's any special tips for me. Im a bit of a rookie in this area so might need it spelled out Any tips on popping out bumps on the bodywork as well would be great.

Cheers.

I take the window winders off all the time, get a towel or some cloth or even a t-shirt, run the fabric into the crack between the winder and the door from the inside which is the side underneath the arm.
Clip will pop off.

To put it back on you can simply put the clip onto the winder then it will just click back onto the door.

you can get the tool to remove the jesus clips from the winder at repco i think i payed $5 for mine. i dont know if jesus clip is the technical term but they kinda look like the jesus fish symbol thing. Hope this helps

preferably use a different term in relation to the U clip thnx mate..

I use a metal nail file to remove the lock buttons. Bent the end over a few mm at a right angle then just slip it in and pull back on the orange bit both sides. Doesn't leave marks or take chunks out of the plastic.

I bought one of those. very handy to have. Mine looks nothing like yours though rat

a wise investment I think. So much easier when u can just whack it in and push and off it comes.
