Removing the trim from the inside of the rear door

[MarileenK]

Hi! I've been searching the www and this forum, but haven't found my answer yet. We're looking to mount a "push rack" bike rack to the back door of our GC600 (https://www.youtube.com/@pushcomponents4277). We've been using the thule van rack and those rails have been glued to the backside of the door. And those rails don't feel secure enough.

Our idea is to mount airline rails to the back of the door, so that the rails are also attached with screws and not just with glue. For that we have to loosen the inside of the right rear door.

We will manage the lower part. But we wonder how the upper part is attached. We have seen that Velcro has been used, we have loosened that. But above that we have the idea that it is glued. Does anyone know? How do we loosen the upper panel of this door?

Thanks for thinking along!

Probably VW clips, use a trim tool shaped like a crowbar, pretend you are a VW technician and it is not your van!

Lol thanks we might end up doing it like that

Hopefully someone on this forum has done this before and can help us out

We figured it out: it was velcro, tape and clips. We were able to remove everything on both sides and to remove the Thule rails on the outside.

So now it's time to place the airline rails.
