Hi,

I have tried the search, but gave up after 4 pages....

Can anyone tell me how the trim panels come off the insides?
are they just poppered on (ie just pull off) or is it more involved.... I don't want to hear that crack which means a rattle for ever more coz i snapped a fixing...

want to run some cables through, and change speakers.

Fanks

Andy

Keep pulling - it will come off.

They come off in a particular order. I think you have to do the front ones first, then the rear (having unbolted the lower seat belt mounting bolt).

Start by gently pulling the top where the material is - it will come off after a few pops, but you may find the metal clips with remain on the vehicle rather than the panel. This will need to be removed & re-fitted to the panel before you put it back.

It's much easier with the seats removed, or at least slid to the opposite end of the van

I took off passenger side panel to get to the electrics, when doing the towbar. I just slid both bench seats as far forward as poss, undone the rear seat belt bolt on the panel, and started pulling from the rear-top, then down rear side, along the top. once you get a few clips undone the rest come off easily. As said above some of the clips came away from the panel, but no hassle getting them or the panel back in place.

Once done you will wonder why you worried so much!!

Yup the panels do clip of, have a look at this digestive....

May help a little, though it is more of a how to replace a window, but does show a sausage removed.
