Removal

1. Remove door trim panel. (Refer to "Front Door Trim Panel" removal in the 2000/2001 Doors/Windows/Mirrors section of the Body/Electrical Volume I Service Manual.)

2. Remove door pull cup.





3. Place the door trim panel (Heat-staked side up) on a work bench with a cloth-type material to protect the panel's finish.

IMPORTANT:

4. Using a 7 mm (9/32 in.) drill bit, drill out the round heat-staked studs.





5. Remove the old door insert from the door trim panel.

6. Remove any heat stake material that may be left in the door trim panel holes or on the door trim panel substrate.
