Please note! Door trim may vary depending on trim level. Therefore, the trim removal process may differ from that described.
Attention! The steps for removing the front and rear door trim are identical.
Removal
1. Lower the door glass more than halfway.
2. Using a screwdriver (to extract the special protrusion) remove the door handle cover.
3. For vehicles equipped with built-in speakers, unscrew the speaker grille screws or remove the mounting brackets, disconnect and then remove the speaker.
4. Remove the door locking pull button by pulling it up while simultaneously pressing the lock with a screwdriver.
5. On models with a manual window lift, remove the window handle from the shaft and the gasket.
6. For versions with electrically raised windows, disconnect the battery, then use a screwdriver to remove the switch from the door and disconnect the connector.
7. Remove the decorative cover of the outside mirror.
8. Unscrew the three armrest mounting screws and remove the armrest.
9. On later models, use a pry bar to remove the trim plate from the rear of the door pocket and remove the screw securing the rear of the door trim.
10. Where applicable, use a screwdriver to detach the trim retaining clips located in the speaker socket.
11. Using a flat special fork-shaped device, unhook the door trim without damaging the plastic latches. If the latches are damaged, do not glue them, but install them in the inner reinforcement of the door trim.
12. Lift the trim and remove it from the door.
Installation
1. Apply plastic tape to the openings of the door frame to prevent corrosion and to prevent water from getting inside the car.
2. Install all latches in the corresponding door holes and secure the door trim.

3. Install the door locking rod button by placing the rod in the lower of the two holes, push the button firmly onto the rod until it locks, and the fastening rod will appear in the upper hole.
4. Perform the remaining steps in the reverse order of removing the upholstery.
5. While driving, check if there is any vibration of the door trim.
Attention! To protect the doors from corrosion, and also to achieve a dull sound when they close, a special bitumen agent should be poured into the inner cavity of the door. This can only be done when the door frame is perfectly dry (without the slightest trace of moisture).
