Looking good so far! Will be checking your progress...getting ready to redo my door panels as soon as I find the inner door pull parts. I have some ideas of how I am going to do mine. Look forward to new ideas...

Did a very similar "surgery" on my 10 Camaro SS. The inner coves on the door panels were plastic welded to the rest of the panel. I used a dremel to carefully cut the plastic welds. When cutting the welds, I cut flush to the tab of the insert. This gave me a raised "post". Once I cut all of the plastic welds, I recovered the section I wanted with a red carbon fiber cloth and reassembled. To reassemble, I used a washer large enough to hold the area the weld would have held, and as short of a screw I could to get a couple of threads into the plastic. I have do to that to both doors with about 10 plastic weld spots on the Camaro. I am hoping there aren't quite as many on the CLK.
