Once you pop all the tabs loose, there's still a tab in the middle with a screw holding the piece into the door, but you can't get to this screw without taking off the entire door panel. All I did was grab the piece with both hands, as close to that middle tab as possible so I didn't break the whole piece, and pull on it while working it up and down. You have to pull pretty hard, but eventually the screw will pop out of place without damaging anything. And when you're done wrapping the piece, it'll pop right back in place on the door.

Here's some pics of mine:

Wow...that looks great!

What's the upkeep on the fabric? Does it get messy easily?

Thanks

in terms of how the fabric holds up, if thats what you mean ?!. there needs to be ALOT of adhesive in between the surfaces or im sure it won't hold up for such a long time in diff weather conditions, especially heat !
