Are these trim pieces easy to remove (2015 SL400 R231)? Cheers

In my experience very little trim in a mercedes is what I would call easy to remove.
I've been told that the door panels need to be removed to get the trims off. Dashboard trims are removable with a decent trim removal tool.

Yes I seem to recall the door trims are held on from behind and requires the door card removing (at least on early 230s and my 251).
I have an old 230 door trim somewhere so if I can find it will take a look.

Thanks for your reply, but no need as I've just seen a video showing how to remove the door panel. I've just found out that there are clips at the back of the trim that need to be released. Cheers.

Sneak preview of my wrap. I'll start a new thread when it's all done.

Fills me with fear at the thought of swapping a complete S211 interior including the headlining, I just do not think l could live in the beige after the grey/tan Designo interior.

Just wrapped the passenger side door trim (quite fiddly removing the door card and fixings). Here's a vid showing the quality of the wrap, although it is much better than this in reality.
