RE: [DML] Door Trim Removal.

["Palatinus, Joe" <jopalatinus@xxxx>]

For the lower trim panel, I have a long bit driver with a 10mm bit at the
end. I but a little bit of scotch tape inside the bit to hold the bolt in
there, I can then screw in that "door grab" piece's bolts (which are the
last bolts to remove when you remove the lower trim panel and the first
bolts to screw in when replacing) All te other bolts should be pretty easy
to screw in. I have done this 100 times so let me know if you have any otehr
questions.
