S40 (New) Trim : - How do I remove front door card/trim on 2011 mk2 S40 SE

steelcitysteve · Oct 24th, 2017, 01:43

I need to remove the front passenger side door card/trim on a 2011 S40 SE but I can't see any screws , flaps or anything where any screws could be hidden. Does anyone know how to get it off without busting something. Thanks

If it's the same as 2009 then there are a couple of screws behind the handle and clips round the edges. There are 'how to' videos on youtube.

Be prepared for some of the clips to break, nearly all of ours did. You can buy replacements for pence each on ebay.

Thanks for the help, looked on YouTube but none of the panels or handles look the same as mine. Whatever happened to simple metal screws.

Can you post a picture of your door trim?

It doesn't get much more definitive than this.

I looked again on YouTube and found the info. Thanks.

For reference, YouTube user MyNameIdeasWereTaken has produced some excellent how-to videos covering many of these such queries. Subscribing to his YouTube channel is highly recommended ;-)
