Rear Door card trim removal
14. Jan 2010 at 11:13
 
Hi everyone,

I need to remove the rear doorcard on a 98 Elite as it has become detached from the long plastic piece that it hangs on the door with. It looks like the adhesive has failed causing the card to rattle and flap when the door is closed. My perhaps rather silly question is how does the plastic piece on the interior door handle prise out? I have never before removed the rear card only a front one where a similar piece also has to be prised out from the bottom or you break the catch at the top. I would be grateful for anyones previous experience as I'm not convined Vx parts would be able to supply another if I break it and its putting up a bit of a fight. I dont want to force it the wrong way.

The plastic strip prises out upward (towards the window). Do it very gently and use a small electrical screwdriver to tease the clips open 1 at a time. Once it's out line it back up on the door card and add 4 or 5 short (I normally use 1/4" washer head screws (I have loads if you need a few)) and screw the strip back onto the door card. I did the front door card on CruiseToPolands facelift that way too Thumbs Up!

Many thanks for the reply I hope we are both talking about the same item its the plastic grip that sits behind the door pull handle and it apparently prises out.  Unfortunately this ones being rather stubborn.   Angry
