Interior trim panels
1. Interior trim panels are attached with screws or various studs or hidden fasteners.
2. To remove the panel, carefully inspect it and note how it is attached; there may usually be some exterior components that will need to be removed first, such as door trim panel pockets, armrests/interior door handles, and window lift levers (photo).

3. After removing the exterior components, make sure that no other panels are covering the one that will be removed. For example, when removing interior door trim panels, the top panel must be removed first.
4. Remove all visible fasteners, such as screws. If the panel has not yet come free, it is still secured with hidden fasteners. These are usually located around the perimeter of the panel and can be pressed out with a screwdriver; however, please note that these fasteners are very fragile. The best way to release such fasteners is to use a special tool (photo).

5. When removing the panel, never apply excessive force, otherwise the panel may be damaged; before attempting to remove the panel, always ensure that all fasteners have been removed or released.
6. Install in the reverse order of removal; secure the fasteners by pressing them down and make sure that all disturbed components are properly secured and do not squeak. If adhesive is found anywhere during removal, remove it with alcohol and use a suitable adhesive during assembly.
Rugs
7. The carpet on the floor of the car is one piece and is usually secured with the same fasteners that hold the various adjacent trim panels.
8. Removing and installing the mat is obvious, but it is very time consuming, as it is necessary to first remove all adjacent trim panels, seats and their mountings, protective covers for the gearshift lever and lower seat belt mountings.
Ceiling
9. The ceiling is attached to the roof with clamps and can only be removed after all components located on it have been removed (grab handles, sun visors, sunroof control panel, sunroof, windshield, adjacent trim panels and door and sunroof seals).
10. Please note that removing the ceiling without damaging it requires a lot of experience, so it is best to contact a specialist.
