I have brought the Cherry wood trim from a fellow forum member in the US and have asked my dealer if they would be able to fit it before I pick my car up. The dealer said they hadn't done it before and was afraid of damage to the door trim and therefore was not happy to do the job.

I guess my only option is to do it myself.
1. Is there anyone out there that has attempted a trim change out themselves?
2. Does anyone know if the removal and replacement of the door trim is covered in the workshop manual which is accessable on the GTR site.

Somebody did post an item about how they had done retrofited wood bits earlier this year. I'm not sure but i think they gave up doing the door panels because the non wood door panels are a different design to the wood panel design. TB might know.

I've done a search but this question has come up so many times there area lot of results in the search!

Ok after a bit of a search there is a posting from Nov 2005 by BlackRRS from the USA:

Here in the US, this trim selection is only available on HSE interiors that don't get the LUX package. I tried to purchase the black peices to replace the wood only to find out that it is a different door panel altogether, around $900 a peice.

Thanks ST, Tim.

Yes I have tried several searches myself on this and the US site and read through them all. It all seems too hard but I am sure there is a way. I have spoken to the dealer and he has said the doorpanels and trims look identical but they are still not willing to try.

Would that sort of thing be covered in the workshop manual? 2006 RRS TDV6, Java/Alpaca, Dynamic Response Pack, Tow Pack, Head and Tail light protectors, 20" Stormers, Roof Rails, S/C Grill and Side Vents, Tasmods. AutoLogic mod.

its on land rovers gtr site, I once printed it out. Its a lot of work but the land rover instructions are pretty detailed. I ended up getting land rover technician to do it and it took him about an hour and a half per door.

I would just go to the gtr site pay for a day account and print it out.

Again, this is an example of lazy b d dealers.

Of course it can be done and this proves it can be done.

Print it off and take it to the dealer and ask them again to do it! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Thanks guys,

I think I will put aside a day this weekend that will hopefully be quiet, pay my days subsciption and go hard!!!

Good idea ST. Will have a look at how complicated it is and do that. I know to fit the tint to my car they will need to remove the door panels anyway so why it can't be done then is beyond me. Everytime I have been to the dealer they seem to have quite a few young apprentices, hence the inexperience I suppose. But in saying that they are the largest Landrover dealer in Australia.
