VT-VX Changing Material on door Trim?
Hi guys,
Just wanting to change the material on the inside of the doors, the blue material is terrible.
But what I want to know is, Does that panel which is covered in the material just pop off? Or do I need to take off the whole door trim in order to take that piece out?
Obviously if I can just yank that piece off it would be so much easier... I dont really fancy removing all 4 door trims.
Thanks in advance.

I think its glued on, its just a matter of carefully running a knife around the edge of it and peeling it off, you shouldn't need to take the door trim off... Oh and i usually 'take' the door trim off, not 'talk' it off either

Edited 1st post...
The panel is held on by plastic nuts hidden behind the sound deadener on the back of the door trim. Have a feel for them (there about 5 or 6 of them).
you have to take the door trim off to do it..... there is 3 plastic clips and 4 or 5 metal nuts.... but they are flimsy nuts.... made out of thin metal
it can be a pain but can be done....
i did it with mine.... and re-covered the peice with a red leather type material
here is a pic of mine when i finished it

Thats exactly what I am looking to do.... that looks mint... Alrightly...
I better buy the material 1st then strip it....
glad i could help
with the original material it should just peel off.... it did with mine.... but there are a coupld of staples holding some of the material on,,,
but they were no biggie
then only other thing i suggest, is to just take ya time... can be a little fiidley
Ignore my completely wrong post haha (except for the spell check of course)

I'll probably attack Spotlight on Friday to see what I can source. Would be happy with a red leather/vinyl.... or even a micro-suade.... Anything is better than the ****ty material which is on atm....
Probably start with the back doors & really take my time
Did you use like a spray on glue? or staples or what?
well the red leather/vinyl material that i have on mine came from spot light
so you should be able to find something you like there
You should be able to find some Adhesive glue and spray that on, stick material over the top... Get that from spotlight??
Not sure about the leather though, that might require staples in the side to keep it taught..
most auto stores will sell a interor spray adhesive that will be fine for it
i got the stuff i was using from an autobarn.... but for the life of me i can remember the name of the stuff

that's great, autobahn round my way are spretty good, even if they cant help me they will refer me onto to some1 who can help...
Not sure about the fabric yet, will just have a look around and see what looks best & has good bang for buck value...
keep us posted man i was gonna pay someone to do it but if u go ok with it i will try! goodluck m8
Contact Adhesive is the stuff you might be looking for... It's what most people use when re gluing their roof lining from memory. K&H is a company that makes them, pretty sure repco and autobarn would sell it =)
