Default window felt (tint)

how do you access this part? do you have to remove the entire door panel? the reason asking is bc the tint shop inverted the felt when installing my tint and i had to fix it and in the process i removed some of the felt....now when i roll the windows up or down there is a rubber streak where the felt is missing. it drives me crazy and i am wanting to replace the felt piece that i ruined. any suggestions? TIA

You are going to have to remove the door panel to fix the felt. Ive done it on other cars that dont come with felt from the factory. I would do it soon, so you dont end up scratching the tint.

A little cover behind the door handle hides a phillips head screw. remove that and the door panel pops off

Here is where I ordered my felt from http://www.tintprotector.com/index.htm Youll probably have to email them to find out how much you need to order (universal kit) since they dont have a specific kit for our car. As hoovey said, its rather easy to take the door pane off, just take your time.
