Help removing interior trims

Featured Replies

I've tried searching the forms but I've come up empty. 

 

Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide or instructions for removing interior trims please? In particular I want to remove the plastic trims around the frame of the bottom half of the doors on the passenger side to run cables from the boot to the glove box. I had a look recently when fitting my reversing camera but I was afraid to pull too hard in case if be snapping tabs or damaging connections. I was able to remove the A-pillar trim, but the others felt like they needed even more force which I wasn't comfortable with - or maybe there's a particular way to lift them that doesn't require anywhere near the force? It also felt like the B & C pillar trims were actually attached to the headliner?

 

Help please

Oh - you need the assistance of @SashaGracewho is a past master in dismantling and reassembling them in double-quick time.

 

Sasha - can you give @Combi_Bobsome pointers?

They just need a pull on the Octy. It’s hard to describe as I’ve done so many of them now but I know exactly where to pull to release the clips but it all pulls off. Start from the back, remove the seat base and the clips there for the plastic trims and pull from there to the front and all will release itself.

That's a great help. Never considered removing the seat base. Thank you.
