I have not worked out how to remove the door handle trim cover. Can anyone enlighten me?

Do you mean the arm rest or the handle itself (to open the door)?

There is a screw under the black cover, the cover pops out easy. Two screws near the hinge, three at the bottom of door and two screws under the arm rest. Be careful not to snap any plastic clips, I think there is 4 or 5 still holding the trim on.
If you want to remove the padded arm rest, you will have to remove the whole door skin, remove the lower pocket then you will be able to get to the six screws holding it on.
Hope this helps.

Steve,

Thats a Soarer in the photo, and I like a dollar for everyone of those I have removed. However, are you sure the cover on the LS400 also 'justs pops out'? I've tried prising it off without success.

I think Phil might be asking about his Celsior (LS400).....

I suspect Neil, or Peter Scott may know.
Pete took pics of the new side intrusion beams put in for compliance, so I suspect he's quite adept at removing Celsior/LS400 door trims.

Sorry Phil, I didn't see the bit where you said it was for an LS400.

Have you tried talking dirty to it?

According to 1 of the tutorials on a USA site, you have to prise, quite carefully above and below the hinge point of the door handle, The rest is quite straight forward.

Steve,

Did the post under Celsior chat and neglected to identify the LS400. Sorry to confuse.

Well done, and thanks heaps. Now to find out why the central door lock mechanism isn't working.
