I have the common split on the trim piece where your arm rest when the window is down. How do you remove it to recover it? Gently pry it out? Take the inside of the door off?

TIA

 

if your talking about the trim peice that goes around the window u will have to take the door panel off to remove i think 4 screws that hold that ring on. please be very careful in removing the door panel.

theres screws along the bottom of the door panel where the door handle is on the inside of the door remove the plastic peice by the lock and then i think 2 long screws where the door arm rest is where u would pull to shut your door. i belive thats it.. anyone else can chime in and add or wht not to this but pretty much most of it.

 

Follow this DIY steps https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...tml#post802171
and buy a fiberglass kit at the auto store because you are going to have broken plastic tabs that held the screws on the door panel and window trim. Take your time/be careful durning the removal process.

 

^^^fantastic DIY, does anone know how I can save the link or thread for when I need it later?

 

Put in your bookmarks file.

 

Theres a sticky for DIY's that should have that tutorial.

 

Did you get it fixed yet???

 

Not yet. I'll post after I do. I'm thinking if I have to take the door panel off I might go ahead and replace some other items.

 

On a side note, Hey Bankswood, what part NC are you in?
