Door Trim Panels

Post by 4-Shipp »

How do you remove the interior door panels? I have an Airtex interior installed and I can find no obvious fasteners. I assume that there are clips that can be pulled loose but I wanted to ask before I pulled something loose that I should not...pull loose. Thanks.

There are clips like automotive trim of the old days.

Use a putty knife and slip it under and slide till you find a clip then pry carefully near or on the clip.

Thanks, Bruce. I assumed that was the case, but I wanted to make sure before I started in with the crowbar. Much appreciated.
