so i'm thinking about repainting the Door Trim and i know hte best way to do it is by removing the door panels and takeing the trim off.
Does anyone have a diagram or info on how many bolts or screws it is and where they are so i don't break anything?

 

There are two screws. Both very easy to locate. One is behind the inside handle, and the other is inside the little coin holder in the door. You must also remove the window crank. There is a U-clip between the crank and the door panel. That one is kind of a pain in the ****. I usually use a flat-blade screwdriver to fish it out. Other than those im pretty shure it just pops off after that.

 

theres also a screw on the top right of the panel where it meets the dash when closed. and one behind the speaker cover.

Look out!! If you do it this way, the clip shoots out like a motherf*er. What has worked out easier for me is to just wedge a thin towel in between the panel and the crank, and wiggle it back and forth until the clip pops out onto the towel. If you go with the screwdriver approach, what I would do is cover the entire area with a towel as you work it off to catch it. Otherwise, there's a good chance you'll be searching the area for that small clip, which isn't as fun as it sounds.
