Trim between doors

Steveredman · Aug 17, 2017

I've got some paint peeling from the trim panel that is between the front and back doors of my A6, does anyone know how to remove this? It looks like the plastic at the bottom might pull off to reveal the attachment point, but I don't want to force it and damage something. Thanks.

It's screwed on the the inside, you have to remove the interior trim.

It is easy. You need to remove that plastic bit at the bottom, first. Grab it from the bottom of it and pull it. It will come away with a bit of force. This will reveal torx screw. Cannot remember size. Unscrew it and the whole trim come off. Lift it from the bottom of it, pull it towards you and pull it down.
Reverse to fix it back.

Got mine wrapped in carbon imitation vinyl as thought will be getting new carbon looking like exhaust tips. Doubt it will happen now so might tear the carbon film down and get just matte black one instead. Will paint the exhaust in black matt also.

Any idea what colour paint I should use to respray it? Suppose I could just do both sides

Both sides would be ideal, unless you like one done and one not.

Do you want to just respray them in black with gloss? Use any paint for metal.

Check the little triangle pieces in the back doors. These should match with the B pillar trim you're restoring now.

Thanks for the tip, can confirm it removes as instructed

Pull the plastic from the bottom to release the ball from the socket, remove 2 x T25 screws and pull the piece down to release from the top.

I'll find some paint, I have a can of phantom black (purchased to spray a replacement parking sensor) but I don't think that will look right. It seems more keyes to the rubbery black trim above it.

Glad I could help.

You already have a chrome delete done, so why don't you match up the B pillar to it?
