How do you remove exterior plastic trim from Jeep Grand Cherokee door?

Answer 1

To remove the outer trim on the front door you can use a trim removal tool or a thin flat bladed screwdriver. Start by opening the door and firmly pulling up, from the bottom of the trim panel, with one hand while carefully inserting the screwdriver into the small gap at the top of the panel. This of course assumes that you start at the edge of the panel closest to the edge of the open door. Be careful not to chip or scratch the paint and slowly twist the screwdriver, while pulling up on the panel from the bottom. There should be a white plastic clip which holds the panel to the vehicle and by gently twisting the screwdriver the top portion of the trim panel will come loose with a snap. There are six clips on the door so repeat this five moor times. To release the bottom of the trim piece simply make a fist and tap down on the trim panel directly above the top of each clip and the bottom will come free. On the rear door there is a speed nut on the inside of the lip or rim of the door. It is easily visible when you open the rear door and look close to the child lock switch. Remove the speed nut and then repeat the same process used on the front door.
