How do you remove the wood trim and door handle on an E70 front door? Thanks.

I figured out the door handle but I still haven't figured out how to take of the wood trim on the door. I don't want to just start prying.

I would remove the entire door card and take a look from behind.

^^ If its anything like the older models, the door card needs to come out as the trim is attached from behind. Unfortunately, I've never removed my trim, so I can't say for sure.

Actually, if it's anything like the older models, you should be able to remove the trim by prying it gently with a plastic trim tool/putty knife/ruler/etc.

If your truck squeaks now, I wouldnt take the panels apart unless absolutely necessary. That's me.
