Chobis Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Over the years I have removed many door cards from many different cars with varying success. Is there a fail-safe way of doing this without causing any damage or pulling the plastic lugs through the cardboard? I recently learnt the trick of using a piece of material to remove the clip holding window winders on. Is there a similar trick to removing door cards?

Roo Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 maybe use a trim puller, my ke20 doorcards just broke no matter what way i did it, kind of sucks but i guess after 35year the wood is going to break when a little bit of pressure is applied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Some of the window winder removal tools have a trim clip remover bit on the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seabiscuit Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 A trick that a bloke at the local wreckers taught me was to get a flathead screwdriver and try and get it next to the clip then twist/lever it off. This puts the pressure on the plastic clip, rather than the door trim. You'll need to get "in there" to see if you're getting the screwdriver next to the clip, though.

philthy30 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 easiest way to remove window winder clips is get a rag and run it behind the winder and it pulls the clip out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) easiest way to remove window winder clips is get a rag and run it behind the winder and it pulls the clip out If you actually read the first post, he is already doing that. An easy way of removing the plastic door card clips without damaging the door card is what he was asking about. There is an actual window winder removal tool???? Oh ffs!!! I assume this is available at motor parts outlets.... motormate etc? Yea check out your local parts places or panel beating suppliers. You can also get dedicated door trim tools.
