Default This Friday I will be swapping another S4 guy his interior. My black for his silver. couple??(m)

1. How difficult will it be to remove the door panels and pull off the silver trim?

2. What is involved in removing/swapping the center console? Since there is Silver on that.

3. Any good pointers on taking out the seats? Tools etc.

Thanks.

Default I'm not taking those pieces. The pieces I am talking about would be the arm rest part on the door.

Same place the Alcantara sits.

Default the aluminum trim removal for the doors is easy, but the dash trims will be ugly

Default its a pain to trade out the trim. i had an audi guy do it for a case

of beer - took him several hours w/ the right tools.

I have pictures of it disassembled (in my picture poster), but no FAQ, sorry.

Did you try the search, I know there's more information out there.

Can you clarify what you're taking? Silver aluminum trim OR silver alcantara parts?

Default i'm betting the top piece to the center arm rest..

is removable without taking off the entire arm rest like we did for your kill switch.

hopefully it's that easy.

unfortunately you might have to remove the entire door panels to remove the silver leather pieces. - yuck!

good luck and show us pics when you're done.
