Can someone please advise how to remove the internal upholstery door trims from a Sprint? Many thanks

Open the door. Pull the wide black door opening handle away from the rest position, as if you were opening the door again, and behind there, there are 3 screws. Unscrew them. At the bottom of the door, ease the door card away from the fibreglass door. They were fixed with 4, I think, metal clips that press into plastic cups that pressed into the door from the factory, but many cars have door cards fixed with screws now, so look out for that before just pulling. When the card comes away at the bottom, pull it away by about 4" and then ease the card down from the top, where it is trapped behind the chrome rail of the window frame. Then unhook the 2 lock rods behind the door card that connects the catch to the lock mechanism, and away you go.

Welcome to the forum by the way. Why dont you introduce yourself in the relevant section and tell us about your car, with pictures of course

All the best,

You are very welcome Tim.

Believe it or not, you can post your introduction in the forum titled 'INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE'.

Looking forward to reading about your car shortly. Its also not that difficult to attach pictures either, makes for a more interesting story. Just have a play with it, you will soon get the hang of it.

Where abouts in London are you? born and bred myself., but thankfully long since departed.

Best,

Leslie
