Default Changing door panel inserts.

O.K.the FAQ,has a detailed "How to remove door panel".
Once this is done,how do I remove black door inserts,and reinstall red ones,without breaking anything,and doing a nice,good looking job?
I read somewhere,I will have to use some kind of glue;don't want to smear it all over the place;what kind of glue,and where to get it?

No glue needed.
Take your time. There are some O-clips that can break if you try to force 'em out. Otherwise the panels are secured by a bunch of screws.

I used a leather cleaner/conditioner while the panels were was off.

Shouldn't be more than a 2 hour job max.

Thank's.
You sure about no glue?
I read,in a post,that the inserts were glued to the door panel!!!
So much the better if no glue is needed !!!

If anything some double sided tape?
My car (MY02) door panels came on and off without any glue.
There is foam backing strips that surround a cup like area that seems to provide structural rigidity for the door panel. Some of that stuff will be torn and pulled off in order to remove the insert.
