Celica Forums General Discussion Interior How do you remove the door panel cloth & power window buttons?

door panel cloth

and power window buttons

It doesnt come off!

which one doesnt come off the first, the last or both...

in first pic... it's glued on... you'd have to tear it off

in second pic... can't remember exactly, should just be a couple of screws to open it up

what are you planning to do with the door panel?

i am painting my entire interior black...because i dislike the grey/purple that comes in the 2000 model celica

I spilled some pop on my window controls and took them all apart. Do it on a clean table. Be careful and kinda seperate everything into little piles, as there is an ASSLOAD of screws, pins & whatnot inside. Open it slowly so everytning doesn't just fly out.

on the window switch... flip it upside down.. everytime you see screws, remove them. Remove the screw until the top part is separated.

good lord do you have big enough pics. i cant even see what it is

Yeah just about to say, wtf is that first picture of...??!?!

those are some big pics

post pics of your interior sprayed black when your finished

i want to spray mine too, b/c i hate the purple gray dash.

can someone tell me what the hell toyota was thinking when they made a purple dash?

Maybe it's my tired eyes, but can you post the pics a little bigger??

can you get any bigger?

ok...when you post pics they are supposed to be small automatically and large if you click on the attachment...but since ecelica.com hardly works its not suprising that this doesnt work right anymore...and secondly shut the fcuk up, none of you are helping, you are just bitching like like kids "those are big pics" ...you are in no way contributing any good to this forum so just stay out of it unless you have something meaningful to say

you have to peel off the door insert because its stickied on there. Might wanna try a flat head screw driver and pry it off very gently.

Would you have to remove the entire door panel to do this? Or can you do it w/out having to remove it?

wow bro you need to calm down. some times before you send you pic you need to go to where ever you are storing you pic. right click go to edit. when in edit click on image then on strech and scew. you can then srink the pic so you can send it. make sure to save it. hope that helps. oh yeah the other stuff is easy they said it all

VBSURFER: how did you paint the door panels w/out taking out the leather trim? Did you just cover it up with something? What did you do?

little tape will have that covrered right up

i covered it up...but it was a pain in the ass and didnt work well...long story short...i ended up ripping it off and am fabricated my own insert made of white vinyl

If i rip it off, can i still put it back on? I think im gonna try masking it off but if that doesnt work im jus gonna rip it off n put it back on somehow

i tried masking and it created more problems than it was worth...if you rip it off you can put it back on you just have to use some spray adhessive

Yah I figured I would just do that instead. Thanks for the heads up

I need to know how to remove the plastic panel thats inside on the trunk. My trunk lock and latch vibrate because of my subs and Im looking to dynamat that area.

Which panel are you trying to remove? Or which part to be exact?

when you open the trunk the plastic panel that on the actual trunk door, its right behind where the handle to open the trunk is.

theres like a "handle" from the inside that is screwed onto the trunk. Uncscrew it and the handle part should be loose enought to remove. Then the part is just held on by some plastic plugs. pull the piece off starting from the window side.

hope this helps

Thanks! I'll give it a try in the morning.
