9N - 5dr Rear door trim removal

Post by carmadaaron »

OK 9N 5dr owners, the rear door removal differs slightly from the front. I know a few owners have had problems removing the trim so hopefully this guide will help you. :D

I have manual rear windows, so if you have fancy electric windows all round then you're on your own! :P

you can download the guide here .



Thanks Yetkin (logistix) for hosting the file for me :D





Cheers

carmadaaron, this is a great guide -- something I was looking for a couple days to find out if I have rear door speakers. As it happens, I found out without having to to take the trim off.

Questions:

1. what are those wires on the door ( electric locks ) ?
2. excuse my tools ignorance :oops: but what's a Spline ?

cheers

wires on the doors i think are for the central locking.

dont think you need that spline. you need these tool bits

Thanks !
I got those bits.

What the best way to get the door trim off without breaking any clips ?

I gather the door trim is clipped onto the door panel and I heard garages have these fancy plier type thing that open when you squeeze the handles to separate the door trim from the panel.
