Removal of wood effect trim
« on: 26 July 2008, 14:59:59 »
How is the best way to remove the wood trim from doors? (prefacelift elite) Do I have to remove all of the door panel? If so is there any wiring or electrics to look out for?

Been struggling with the father in law to remove a welded towbar and the facia to put MV6 one in, only to look at TB's guide on climate bulb renewal and have found out about the locking bar  ::) ;D

Bar has had extra peices added and welded to car frame. Can only think it has been used for huge loads. The bar itself is in good shape and 'normal'  :y
