from the exposed side of the trim pad and are
readily accessible for removal.

door inner panel painted surfaces adjacent to
top and front edges of trim pad.

flat-bladed tool, between door trim assembly
and door inner panel at retaining clip locations
and disengage clips from plastic sealing plugs.

retained down the front edge by nails or retaining

Insert type trim is retained along the front edge by
adhesive which bonds the trim to the outboard face
