How to Remove the Door Trim on a 1990 300E Mercedes Benz


1. Warm up the heat gun by turning it on and letting it stand for a few minutes.
2. Run it back and forth over the trim but not touching it. Just enough to soften up the adhesive backing.
3. Set a cloth under the beginning part of the trim and slide the trim removal tool along the cloth and up under the trim to pry it up.
4. Work the removal tool and the cloth along the entire length of each piece of trim to pry it off the vehicle. Do this carefully if you wish to reuse the trim because it can crack or chip easily.
5. Pull the trim gently away from the vehicle door and set it aside.

2002 Audi A4 Door Panel Removal


1. Open the door as wide as possible. Pull the door handle back to gain access to the Philips screw behind it. Remove this screw and then pull the handle and handle enclosure off the door. There are two more Philips screws behind it that need to be removed.
2. Locate and remove the two screws along the bottom edge of the door panel and the two along the front edge. Pull the door panel away from the door, starting at one corner. Pull until the plastic clips behind the panel pop and separate from the door. There are clips located along each side and the bottom of the panel.
3. Lift the panel up and away from the door. Reach behind it and unclip the wiring harness connection between the door and the door and window controls to completely remove the door panel.
