Door garnish removal

[07Prodigy]

Hi guys,

I want to remove the door garnish on the outside of the pre-facelift 40 series, so I can put some lights in.

I know there is a thread here somewhere but I can't find it.

Any help is appreciated.

I would really like some pics if possible.

Hey Geoff, are you referring to the inner door panel/trim? If so then there's only a few screws to remove and the lower part is clipped in. You pop the vertical piece of plastic off the hand grips and this will expose two screws - Remove those. Get a small flathead screwdriver or credit card and pop the plastic 'cupped' piece off the inside of the door handle and this will expose one more screw. Last but not least is the small plastic clip on the door panel nearest the dashboard. Push the centre of the clip in and then it'll simply pull out towards you. Then get a firm grip on the bottom of the panel and pull. One the clips are popped out, lift the door panel up and off. It's a really simple procedure - Just be sure to unplug the window switch and door light after popping the panel off.

Here's a link to a DIY with photos and a video on YouTube:

Hey, nah the one on the outside of the door.

Chrome trim on the lower half of the door.

Only the series one has it.

Ohhh the door mouldings. They're held in with clips and double-sided tape. You have to remove the inner door panels however to access the clips, as you can't pop them off from the outside.

Oh ok thanks mate.

Will anything break when you pop them off, like clips and stuff?

Or is it just a simple u clip and pull?
