whats combi? can i take out the trim on the doors without removing the panels?

also in the center, would the radio/control climate have to be pulled out to take it apart?

Combi = Instrument Cluster

No The Door Panels MUST be removed to remove / change the wood on the door

yes the climate control and radio MUST be removed to remove the center wood ..

The trim in the dash slide sideways and then pull out. You have to remove the speeker cover in the dash on the right side to get the large trim to move.
