So, this is one of those "ask first before just pulling stuff apart" posts....
On my 2103 XC70 (D5 AWD), the large plastic trim on the bottom half of the driver's side passenger door is coming loose at the top. The drivers door itself looks like it will follow suit fairly soon.
I can see that there is tape between the trim and the door panel that looks like it has given up the ghost. So I need to replace it.
If I pull the trim panel out a little bit, I can see that there are white clips further down inside, so presumably the trim itself is held in place by these clips, which I presume push into holes in the door panels and then there is tape at the top and bottom edges of the trim panels?
I can order 3M automotive body moulding tape, which will presumably do the job admirably, but to do a proper job, I would like to remove the panels entirely, clean everything up and apply the new tape to the panels before putting them back in place.
So what's the best way to remove these panels? I'd like to break as few of the clips as possible and not damage the trim panels themselves. Do the clips just pop out fairly easily, or is there a specific knack to it?
All help and advice gratefully received!
(EDITED TO ADD: I think these are probably the correct clips:
