Looks like an alum wrench.

Ironic as I am removing that piece in the next few days to paint. I am hoping it is as easy as the right wrench.

Take care,

Brian

Yeah, you have to remove them from the back side. There are four clips, two being on the bottom side. You have to push in then down. Winter sucks because it made the part more brittle I think. Broke one clip removing but they still seem to lock nicely.

Take care,

Brian

and i will second that using 3m glue pulls in humidity. the guy that did my interior told me he gets people in there all the time with falling headliners and other peices caused by glue pulling. he uses some kind of industerial bonding glue and when we were doing my door panels and it stuck so well when i went to fix it i almost had to put my foot on it and pull. but looks good i switched all mine to yellow including inserts and did a black headliner with a yellow stripe down the center. it brightens up a lot.

Maybe I missed this, but how exactly did you go about wrapping the panels? Were the wrapped pieces removed from the doors somehow or did you just use something to press the suede into the crevices? I've been thinking of wrapping mine and embossing something into the doors, but just didn't know how to go about it on these doors. I'll probably wait to pull the door panels when I do my stereo install to prevent extra rattles, but I'd like to know the best way to go about it before I start buying things and pulling parts.

embossing stuff into panels with suede is hard because of the backing material unleess you can find foam backing because suede does not want to strech i already tried it in door panels and there was too much going on with the fitting
