How to Remove the Interior Trim Panel of a Haval H6?

First, remove the inner handle cover on the door trim panel by gently prying it open with a small flat-head screwdriver. The inner handle cover is secured with plastic clips. You will see two screws fixing the door trim panel. Use a T-30 Torx bit to remove these two screws and store them safely. Locate the black border, take out the small flat-head screwdriver, and gently pry open the black border to remove it. Next, disconnect the wiring harness for the window regulator on the door trim panel by pulling out the connector with your hand. Hold the door trim panel with your hands and gently lift it upwards to separate it from the door panel. Then, remove the inner pull cable.

I've helped friends remove the Haval H6 interior panels several times. First, prepare plastic pry tools and a Phillips screwdriver. For door panels, start prying from the triangular trim at the bottom. Remove the tweeter cover first - there's a screw underneath that needs to be taken out. Then use the pry tool to gradually work along the door panel edges. The tricky part is the two hidden screws near the handle - you can't see them without removing the storage compartment. The most challenging part is dealing with the clips. In winter when plastic becomes brittle, extra caution is needed - stop prying when you hear a click and move to another spot. Some people try lifting the entire door panel upward to unhook it, but clips on older vehicles break easily, so it's wise to keep some replacement clips handy.

The key to removing interior trim panels yourself is to be bold yet meticulous. For the upper door panel, first pry off the door handle trim cover to reveal a hidden screw. The lower section requires removing the window control panel by gently inserting a thin card into the gap and slowly prying it open. Each trim panel has different clip locations - the H6 driver's side often hides a special clip near the dashboard. Remember to disconnect the battery to prevent airbag warnings, and cushion your hand with a towel while prying to avoid scratches. After removal, never yank wiring harness connectors - pinch the clip and pull gently.

3rd-gen H6 door panel removal tips: Pry the small cover under the unlock handle first - it hides crucial screws. When removing the driver-side trim, you'll encounter the door light, so unplug it beforehand. The clip layout resembles a spiderweb (sparser in center, denser at edges). Apply force at 45° upward angle from below for safest prying. Some opt for magnetic pry tools to prevent screws from falling inside. Finally, slide the panel horizontally when removing - top hooks break easily.

Simplified steps: 1. Remove the small rubber pad inside the door handle. 2. Unscrew all visible screws. 3. Pry out the entire window control switch assembly. 4. Insert a pry tool at the largest gap at the bottom of the door panel. 5. Follow the contour and stop when you hear ten clicks from the clips. Special reminder: The triangular mirror area should be handled last, as forceful removal may cause cracks. It's good to have some body adhesive on hand—apply a circle around the clip sockets when reassembling to prevent rattling. For older cars, it's recommended to spray WD-40 to lubricate the clips before starting.

Blood and tears experience from disassembling ten H6s: The passenger side trim panel is easier to remove than the driver's side, beginners are advised to start practicing from the right side. Hidden screws may be under the mat in the storage compartment, and older models also have them concealed behind the window switch panel. There are two types of clips: the white standard type can be pried off forcefully, while the black barbed type must be pushed straight out without tilting. Immediately apply felt tape to protect the back of removed panels, otherwise, there will be scratching noises upon reassembly. Seen people using a heat gun to soften clips before removal, but it's too risky for beginners—better take your time and proceed slowly.
