How is 'wood' trim held onto doors?
Hi all
As title really - how is the wood trim at the top of the rear doors held in place? Is it just push fit clip in or is there something fancy about it? I've noticed an annoying rattle coming from the rear nearside which appears to be due to the wood trim coming away from the door panel at the rear edge. Any options for repair or will I have to source a complete replacement? I'm quite ham-fised with trim so would like to know options before I make it worse! Cheers Adrian

Pretty sure it is actually metal and just a press fit, see: http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articl...im_removal.pdf

Thanks Andrew
Looks like there's some plastic clips that sit in the door trim panel (number 4 in the pics) which are the most likely cause of slippage. Can't imagine the metal bit has broken off the rear of the trim. May pop down to my local dealer tomorrow and see if they can order me some  Adrian

I'd take it off first and have a look.
 I had my front strip off on the "old" car when working on the mirrors and IIRC they weren't even all there, but adjusting the clips carefully with pliers resulted in a tight fit on reassembly. Failing that a bit of double-sided tape will secure it and reduce rattling.

Local dealer has 3 on the shelf (they're common to loads of models) so will try and pop it off later and see what I can do. I tried pushing it back into place and nothing was happening. Hope the old credit card as a trim tool will do the job....
