thanks for posting this! I'm getting my windows tinted tomorrow and it will help my guy take the door card off without damaging it.

Worked for me, and they clicked back in when I put the panel back. Do so at your own risk I guess!

As a general practice, I'd suggest unscrewing the mounting points as opposed to pulling the inserts out of the inner door skin.

Looks like the silver part was damaged prying it off in the above picture, I'd like to avoid that, and since I'm only taking the panel off once or twice, it shouldn't matter.

Plastic pry tools (like the $6 HF ones) will avoid that.

I've always called them Door Cards. I know that Edd China calls them cards as well, so

Nice writeup!

Just to clarify when pulling off the door panel, is it an up and out motion or just pulling outwards? I can't get mine off, feels like im going to rip the handle off. Thanks!

You pull out to undo the clips. Once all the clips are loose, it will just be hanging from the top of the door, and then you pull up. Once the card is off, you need to undo the wires and handle/lock.

-max- · 09-18-2012, 09:35 PM

But, yes, you need to pull hard.

Is there no vapor barrier behind the door panel / card? If there is can someone tell me what sort of adhesive is used?
