    Default Door trim. How to?

    I've removed all screws. The one behind the door lock. The one behind the handle ect. It just doesn't want to let go up around the window seal. Is there a trick to it or do you just have to be foreful?

    The inner belt strip on the top of the door trim clips over the door frame you have to push it upwards. Also if it's a VT there will be a cup like thing attached to the door body behind the trim and there's a part on the back of the trim that goes in it to hold the trim, this isn't on the later models. You need to make sure you get these together when refitting the trim.

    That'd be right mate. Wasn't trying to push the strip up. Will try it tomorrow after footy when i go to install the new speakers. Cheers

    I think i've broken the left hand door lock. Still locks and all but the bit with the red bit of it doesn't lock onto the locking mechanisim. It just slide right down and when pulled up doesn't pull the lock up it just slide off. If that makes sense. Lol

    Yeah the red button normally gets damaged when removing it. You can get new ones from Holden.

    Will the SS locks fit a vt s? Surely they would. Can't find any for $20, cheapest $60 odd.
