    Does your door panel trim look like this?

    How to repair:
    Tools needed:
    Replacement part
    flat head screw driver or putty knife or what ever you have handy
    stapler
    First: Get a replacement. I had to get mine at a junkyard.
    4 door cars remember: The ones off of the back do not fit on the front but the front ones fit each other and the back ones fit each other.
    Second: Take off your door panel: First take off the screw covers. Then unscrew the the screws behind the covers. Now pop off the door panel with a putty knife or screwdriver or what ever you have handy.
    Third: pop out the staples with a flat head.
    Fourth: Put the new trim in place and staple it on.
    Fifth: Put your door panel back on and the screws in and the covers back on.
    Should look like this:

    Hope this helps

    Nice write up, when I did mine I had to get new door clips so keep that in mind.

    ^You can get door panel clips at any auto store.

    What size staples did you use? It may help to put something inside to keep them from coming through the top.
