Trying to repair rear door thats' a bit dinged up. Already broken a handful of clips/plugs securing door casing to the door. Just a bit relunctant removing the "interior lock button bezel". Rave cd says to remove, but not how to. Tryed what I thought was enough force to get it to pop. Just need someone whos' removed this before to give me the heads up, so I don't break it as well.

Also anyone know where to get the clips/plugs for securing the door card back to the door?

TD5 Defender 2002.

Thanks in advance,
Tod.

I pushed the lock down and pushed a large flat blade screw driver above the lock and under the bezel. A quick upward blow with my hand on the screw driver shaft and the bezel popped off, and up into the air. They took more force than I was expecting, but I didn't break them whilst removing them which was good.

If you didnt break them you did well! i tend to break mine when removing them... but they do take some force..

On one side the actual backing peice screwed to the door broke :(

The broken one on the drivers side is now the only rattle (other than the engine) that i have...

I was thinking of recording a rattle soundtrack for the stereo to keep me company :)

Are these the clips?
LAND ROVER DEFENDER BAG OF 10 INTERIOR DOOR TRIM CLIPS on eBay (end time 19-Sep-10 16:35:44 BST) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-BAG-10-INTERIOR-DOOR-TRIM-CLIPS-/370410792569?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563e342679)
I got these for my '96 Defender from this guy in the UK after not being able to find them elsewhere.
I also got door lock trims from him - plus spares for the future - as I certainly broke them when removing.
A nice tip I picked up from this forum was to use small screws to give a replacement 'head' for any broken 'retaining lugs' on the door card.
