Removing VT/VX door trim

[Knux]

Have any of you taken off the clothed trim in the door? Does that just pop out the back of the door?

No need to remove the trim

I have replaced the rear speakers in a VX simply by removing the screw/s (can't remember how many) at the bottom of the trim and gently levering it away from the door, only at the bottom. This leaves enough space to unscrew the speaker using a stumpy no. 2 philips head screwdriver.
I did not cut the Holden speaker connector off, just spliced into the wires so I have the option of refitting the original speakers in case I sell the thing later.
My VX has electric windows so it may be necessary to remove the winder on manual wind cars.
I looked at the front doors and it looks like the same trick would also work.
Hope this helps. Steve

3) Trick with replacing the door trim is clipping the white clip in the middle back in first, then aligning the lock rod, then then top trim that runs along the window ledge.. then the rest just pops into place.

yer after fighting the door for a while i noticed the white clip found that to be my biggest head ache outta the whole job

...gently levering it away from the door, only at the bottom...

Never thought about levering the door trim forward ; I was more inclined to take it off just incase something cracked!

...I did not cut the Holden speaker connector off, just spliced into the wires so I have the option of refitting the original speakers in case I sell the thing later...

I removed the two female connectors from the holden plug by inserting a small electrical screwdriver into each side of the plug and unclipping them. This way I am using the original female clips, and the two white plastic holden clips are my toolbox :thumbsup:

HELP!

Guys,

Sorry to dig up an old thread but need some urgent help. I have broken my drivers side mirror, i have a replacement but can't get the door trim off. I am stuck with the window winder, can someone please elaborate how the rag trick works. Above it just says slide the rag down behind. If i put a rag behind the winder, how do i pop the clip off?

any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
J

Try sawing it across behind the winder...it shold catch one end of the clip........

How come you have to remove the mirror to get door trim off. I took mine off without taking power mirrors out?
