Door card removal??

[sportbackbkd]

Hiya,

Kind people, could someone tell me how easy the door cards on a sportback are to take off plus the best approach to do this, also how do i take the chrome trimming off?

Thank you very much for your time

In the FAQs there a link the 3dr card removal. I can't imagine the SB is much different.

Its pretty much the same, bolts are in different positions minimally, but simple enough.

Chrome trim, do you mean the brushed alum trim in the door card?

Is there a hidden bolt / screw to remove on the front door of the sportback? Around the window switch area?

I've removed the two at the base of the door and one behind the trim near the door lock switch by the handle. Are there any others? I've popped some of the clips but it feels like there is something still holding it on

Any help would be great!

Thanks

If you look on the thread I linked to you should be able to see there's one in that area.
