    Default Need to remove door trim with door shut.

    Hey guys, both handles (inside and outside) on my drivers door, decided to not work. I'm not to sure whats going on so I want to get the trim off to have a look. Problem is I cant get it all off with the door open (obviously) so I need to open the door or find a way to get the bastard off. Is there a way I can peel the Top corner down and use a screwdriver or some pliers or someshit?

    You should be able to peel away the top right corner with the door closed to some extent...

    Like theres a metal sheet sort of thing in between the door and the trim, which blocks the view of the latch. think they are 10 mm bolts to remove it.

    Fixed it . Screwdriver and long nose pliers, A clip had come off so just had to put it back on. Painting the door trims while I'm at it.
