First does the door panel come off relatively easy? Second are the inner panels by the arm rest and covering the air bag, panels that can be separated from the main door panel? I'm interested in removing my arm rest section and covering it in leather. From the front it looks as it might be a separate piece that might come apart from the back side. Anyone know?

 

~ it one solid piece... ...but easy to remove imo.

now pics... (i added some dynomat to the door panel contact points)...

 

So the area I've outlined in red can not be separated? Are those melted plastic rivets that connect the sections?

 

~ yes they are factory melted rivets.

 

I made a set out for sheet metal covered and shaped with foam, then covered with leather.
Just double sticky it on.
I'll try to put some pics up for you later this week.
