I'm sanding down the door panels and preping for paint, but can I remove the fabic that's also the armrest? Also can I remove the bezel that surrounds the door handle? If so, am I able to easily put it back on without difficulty? I'm looking behind the door panel and it looks like I'm gonna have to break clip/pin things to get it off.
I am not sure about this but, I think your door panels have the clips for it, if so that will make it alot easier to do. Unclip it and it should come out. The newer ones on the Cavs are plastic welded in, which in my case that is true. If yours is plastic welded in, then you will have to cut the welds away and then screw that bezel back onto the door panel with short screws.
GIT 'ER DONE!
Yup, they're plastic welded.... what the frig.
I know.. I thought about doing it to my car cuz I was gonna redo the doors and the armrests but i noticed the welds and just said forget that cuz it'smore then likely gonna be a pain to get them back on without being off center or making noises when u close the door
Yeah, I'm just gonna try to get as LEAST amount of paint on them as possible and go from there. If there's too much then I'll have to rip them off and re-upholster them and somehow put them back.
