J 38778 Door Trim Pad and Garnish Clip Remover

1. Remove the trim cover and the two screws in the door pull handle.
2. Use a flat-bladed tool to remove the door handle trim bezel which is held in place by three fasteners.

5. Remove the electrical connectors as equipped.

Important: Before installing the door trim panel to the door, the old trim panel retainers MUST be discarded and replaced with NEW retainers. If NEW retainers are not used, the trim panel will not be properly secured to the door.

2. Install the new trim panel retainers to the trim panel.
3. Install the electrical connectors as equipped.

5. Press the trim panel to secure the fasteners into the door.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

8. Install the two screws and the trim cover in the door pull handle.
