Need to take all mine off to be swapped. Whats the easiest way to get em off? Few screws and mastic of a sort last time i took em off, i think? Any reccomendations on 'sticking' them back on?

The mastic is quite sticky, you will find that you can pull the card off it and refit it just as well. The "clip" in around the edges at various points too.

What ones you replacing them with huw? Same design or off another model? I quite face changing my slightly knackered TD door cards. Divers side elbow area is almost worn away Sad

I wouldn't fancy trying to get all the masic off the cards so there is enough to fit the new ones. Better off just getting some new mastic as the old stuff will end up everywhere, it's so stringy!

Replacing the pale grey ones with some black exec ones. I'm kinda picky about my cars interior seeing as i spend a lot of time there:P I actualy prefer my TD's interior to the standard 16v one.
