Re: What tools do I need to take???? HELP

Bring an assortment of torx bits, metric wrenches, an interior trim removal tool (or really large flat blade screwdriver, but the tool is cheap and works a lot better!), and if it has manual windows a window crank removal tool.

Just going off of memory here, i think the armrests are held in place by 3 torx bolts around a T-30 size. The interior door handle trim (and power lock trim if it has that) is a smaller torx bit size, like a T-15 or T-20. Some of the "bolts" around the door handle are fake ones molded into the plastic, be careful not to try and remove those! The whole interior door panel is attached with plastic push in clips, if you have the tool to remove interior trim you'll probably be able to get them out without breaking the clips or pulling them out of the door panel. The outer door handle is held on with two 10mm nuts, you'll need the window up (or out of the door) in order to reach it, just pop the window crank back on if its got manual windows. Not sure how you'd do it if its got power windows. If you're getting the window seals you'll need a 7mm wrench to reach them.
