5 - Removing the door trim

Removing the trim makes it easier to run the film over the entire window. Please refer to your vehicle's technical documentation, as each model has its own set of fasteners, clips and/or screws.


  1. Identify the various fasteners by referring to your technical documentation (these locations depend on your vehicle model).
  2. Remove/unclip all covers to gain access to screws
  3. Remove all screws generally located on handles and control knobs
  4. Remove the panel by pulling with a plastic spatula to facilitate disassembly at the staples.
  5. Remove gasket by sliding it outwards
  6. You can then easily apply your tinted film


Warning: disassembly of the gasket is reserved for an informed public.
