Please excuse a question from a non-technical girl but someone has very kindly put a small dent in my rear door which I want to get fixed by one on the dent removal comanys.
Before they arrive I want to remove the rear trim panel to save time and reduce the risk of more damage.
Does this simply pull off? or is it a bit more complicated.
On my 08 plate it was just pull off. Start at the bottom of the panel and work along the bottom edge, teasing it when you are close to a retaining clip. Work up both sides towards the windscreen (I think there are a couple of trim clips towards the moddle of the panel too) then take it easy along the top as mine kinda slipped under the screen rubber. It takes less than 5 mins to take off.
How soon are you doing it? I plan to take mine off again soon to add some sound deadening, I could take a couple of pics when it's off to show you clip location.
