The following steps should be followed:
1. Remove the door trim pad as per the appropriate Service Manual procedure.
2. Place the door trim face down on a flat soft surface so the trim is not damaged.
3. Remove the staples and hot melt glue that is attaching the trim strip to the door trim pad. Remove the trim strip.
4. Align the new trim strip on the door trim pad. To secure the strip to the pad, drill five (5) holes through the trim strip and the pad (see illustration). One hole is drilled at each end of the strip and then the remaining three (3) holes are equally spaced in the middle of the strip.
5. Attach the trim strip to the door trim pad using five (5) 1/8" aluminum rivets.
6. Inspect the door pad fasteners and replace as necessary using P/N 20734005. Assure the fasteners are properly seated in the trim pad.
