door panel

I would like to replace the aluminium trim on the top of the door panel as it is quite badly scratched, i do not know if it just pulls off or if it is attached from the back requiring the whole door panel to come off. if the latter is true is it a big job or does it again just pull off. any help will be much appreciated.

I ended up removing the door panel, and found that there are about six round metal clips holding the aluminium strip in place. There is no way the strip could be pulled off from these and the panel really has to be removed to get at these. Once the panel is off you will also be able to change the window switch surrounds. As for the trim on the centre console, the gear lever surround just pulls up, I don't know about the trim around the sat-nav. Good Luck.
