Removing interior plastic

Post by ShotInTheDark »

I found the paint I was searching for but was not happy with the chameleon color choices. I did find a blue mettalic color that I like. So now I'm ready to paint the 5 interior pieces. How do you remove them?

they come out pretty easy, but you'll want to be careful getting the door panels off. the driver's door: the panel is attached with a notch or clamp thing (not sure what to call it) and you have to pop that out with something flat and smooth first. then the panel will just come off. the bottom has a plastic fastener that it slides into. be careful not to break this because is holds it down firmly. i broke mine and it's a real pain. i had to solder a metal piece to get it to go back on. there's 3 small screws that the door functions are held in the panel. you just screw those out too. all the pieces just "pop" out, just be careful you don't snap them or break them. the middle section, you have to take the middle knob off to get to the screw. i think it's the heater or a/c knob. the bezel will then just pop off like the other parts.
