How to remove rear door panel?
 
I'm trying to remove the rear door panel on my 8 now, have followed the this guide: http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articl.../doortrim.html

But i cant unhook the damn panel. On all other Audi's i have touched it's supposed to pull the whole panel up 1-2cm and it goes out, but in this case i cant nudge it more than 1-2mm.

Can't locate any other screws or clips ether :/ Heeeelp.

That guide doesn't mention all the fasteners around the edge of the rear door trim.....................

Yeah i figured it out. They are kind of hard to see/locate as well if your not 100% sure of how it's fastened. But i got it off, and now i got auto up on rear windows as well. ;P

Details on auto-up? That's a modification I've been wanting to do.

Follow this :) I would prefer to use the correct terminal so that you won't get problems with bad contact tho. Think they sell them loose @ the dealer :)

Yes, this is great mod. It is on my waiting list.

Please make sure you buy clips (9 or 10 per door, I don't remember). Clips will definitely break when you pry off the door card, so you'll need 20 clips for two rear doors.

You need something like this to pry off door card:

Just insert something plastic and thin between door car and metal and just pry off. Clips will start to break :)

I wondered what had happened to CtL's "safety" eating utensils - thought he had left them in Germany and there they are with you all the time!! :p

These is not my stuff -- I just borrowed random picture from google after searching for "car trim removal kit".

Guess i were lucky or something, since i didn't break one single clip when i removed my panel's yesterday :Confused:

I only "half-broke" just one when removing my front panel recently.
