Default Removing AU Door Trim Leather Inserts

Hey,

So my door trims are worn in certain places by the person I bought them off. Now I have perfect donor door trims, I just want to change the leather insert bit. How can I accomplish this?

Cheers, Alex.

Should just need to bend straight the metal tabs on the reverse side of the door trim..... And the arm rest part unscrews.

I used to work for a motor trimming business that installed leather interiors as a new car dealer's option, we used to stick the leather trim on the doors straight over the original factory fabric insert.
Some cars had fabric trim inserts as removable panels which made covering them easier. I am curious if the AU had the separate panel or one piece door trim.
