Installation
We install the door trim and all previously removed parts on the car in reverse order.
Before installing the skin, we check the fastening holders - we replace deformed or damaged holders.
When installing the skin on the door, we combine the skin holders with the holes in the door panel and with light blows of the base of the palm we sink the holders into the holes.
