It’s always good to see just how the interior panels are fitted before attempting it yourself. It avoids so many broken tabs that are irreplaceable. Thanks.

[@ODRModurol]

Tom, I believe you are correct, that is why I try to show the part removed and its location points before I show the removal. It helps of you know what you are up against. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated, regards Damian
