VT-VX Changing Material on door Trim?

[rch-13z]

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

Cheers for that matie, yeah I've talked some ppl into bordem but I dont think I could 'talk the door trim off'.

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

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
