Just ****** broke a clip off of my trim piece on that passnger side door.. I wanted to repaint it because they were all chipped up.. I thought your sposed to just pull up on them???

come on i need an answer quick please

 

did u pull it off hard or something i take off my trim all the time when umm i need to hide things lol

 

yea.. i was pullin hard.. is there an easy way of doin it.. i really dont feel like spendin $60 to replace them

 

what did u try to take off from the door panel is it were the window switches are on

 

you pull out not up. and how bad did you break the clip?

 

yea what he said, if your talking about the panel with the window switches it has that big metal bracket thing. is that what you broke off?

 

as in you broke the plastic or the little metal piece is still in the dash????

cause if the metal piece is still in the dash then you need to use some pliers, push down on top pull up on bottom and pull, then shove back on the plastic post thing and your right as rain...

if you broke the plastic off you can try some jb weld of some plastic appoxy....or more likely just ignore it or buy a new one

and if its the long piece i just happen to have an extra w/o paint on it

 

i doubt the metal bracket on the door got broke so under that assumption i'm assuming its the dash trim piece that he's talking about.

 

thats what i was thinking and responded accordingly lol

 

woops my bad lol. either way if the plastic tab is broken you may be able to 3m that part of it so it doesn't rattle around or what not. but i can't remember how much flat surface area there is behind them. been a while since i've taken mine off.

 

theres a good amnt of surface area, but i would be worried more about it bing too far out cause those clips hold it in..just wouldnt look right

 

thus the 3m if the surface area's are close enough together it will hold it in there good.

 

true...hmmm

 

hey sorry for not responding.. anyway i took the screws out then when i was pulling up on it i snapped the piece of plastic off that holds it in there.. not the metal piece... i didnt realize u had to take those screws out before pulling up haha.. so i bent the metal piece a little.. but im sure it'll be alright.. ill work on it tmrw.. thanks for the help

 

ok hold on a sec. are you talking about the passenger door cup with all the window switches or the passenger dash trim that is above your glove box?

 

window switches

how the hell do u disconnect the wires?

can anyone help me out real quick?

 

sorry, never taken those off

 

pull out not up

 

with the window switches the there should be one tab where you pull out a bit and then pull it out. another one where you have to push the clip in to release it and the big one should be pretty straight forward with the ol' press and pull method.

 

if your taking the entire door panel off it is a bitch to get the cable hooked back up to the door handle, just FYI.

I dont know how far your going, or well probably gone with this by now but i thought id throw this in just in case or for anybody really.
