its melted on from the backside of the panel

Wish they made them easy to remove. Was going to have it hydro dipped and then a hard clear coat as my Brietling Bentley bezel scratches it way to easy. Guess the only option is a 3m wrap on it but not sure how it will do against the watch. Its gotten to the point where I am wearing my Bell and Ross when in the truck instead.

Hey, I've got a quick question, didn't want to open a whole thread about the door trim, ran a quick search and didn't find info about this,, so my quick dumb question for the day is,,,

Can this trim be pried off easily or does the door panel need to be removed? A buddy gave me some 3m and i'm contemplating on putting it over this area, if it pops off.



Maybe someone's already messed with this before...

Moved to Interior Mods forum.

It does not pop off. It is "plastic welded" on the back. If you pry it you will break the tabs.

Shit, I was just about to mess with it lol..

pull the door panel and use an old soldering iron to pull it off. when you do pull it off, it makes little plastic rings. save them as you will need the extra plastic to remelt it back together.
