How to Safely Remove the Decorative Door Trims on a BMW E60 & E61 A quick video showing how to remove the star washers from the decorative door trims without damaging them.
The BMW E60 and E61 seem a bit unique as the clips for these trim pieces need to be accessed from the rear and don't lever off from the front like many other trims do. I've briefly covered the complete door trim removal for both the front and rear doors but have not gone into too much detail as these are fairly well covered already.
Also shown in the video is how to fix the trims if the plastic parts have broken off, I found an M3 washer and small self tapping screw worked very well here. Any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.
The Facom hook tools I used can be found here www.primetools.co.uk/product/...
These cheaper ones also work well www.eurocarparts.com/p/amtech...
