Disassembling an interior door to refurbish

Post by miller1345 »

I’ve got a 2009 Vibe. Sorry, first time posting. My cloth trim is disgusting and it needs to go. How can I “release” that section from the door panel itself?

I’m fine taking the door off, except I’m not sure how to take off the window roller lever thing.Thank you in advance!

welcome to genvibe

I have never been in an 09, but I found some threads that talk about taking the trim panel off an 09 front door

unfortunately, the pictures that used to be in that thread have disappeared

Is the cloth damaged or just dirty? If just dirty, perhaps once you get the trim panel off you can use some carpet cleaner or similar soap to freshen it up
