How to remove R50 R53 door card trim / handle

[jdl_1967]

Does anyone know how to remove the handle and door pocket from the door card please?

It looks like they are glued on through small holes in the door card similar to how a pop rivet works. I therefore image I need a large drill to remove the folded over plastic bits just as you drill off the end of a pop rivet. Then re-glue with a hot glue gun.

But before I do this, I thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance

Oops, wrong section I think, please can a mod save my ineptitude?

You're right John they are secured that way and are tricky to get back together once they've come off. Best way of securing them is with a plastic glue once you've finished doing what you're doing.

Perfect thanks Davy.

I bought a set of door cards with the anthracite trim to match my new dash and other bits, but didn't realize door cards come in different shades of grey, so have to swap the trim bits over :-(

Nightmare John ... You could always get Craig to put his wallet in the door pocket the weight of it will take the door pocket off ;)
