Changing door panel inserts.
O.K.the FAQ,has a detailed "How to remove door panel".
Once this is done,how do I remove black door inserts,and reinstall red ones,without breaking anything,and doing a nice,good looking job?
I read somewhere,I will have to use some kind of glue;don't want to smear it all over the place;what kind of glue,and where to get it?

No glue needed.
Take your time. There are some O-clips that can break if you try to force 'em out. Otherwise the panels are secured by a bunch of screws.
I used a leather cleaner/conditioner while the panels were was off.
Shouldn't be more than a 2 hour job max.

If anything some double sided tape?
My car (MY02) door panels came on and off without any glue.
There is foam backing strips that surround a cup like area that seems to provide structural rigidity for the door panel. Some of that stuff will be torn and pulled off in order to remove the insert.

Just a bunch of screws. Very simple task actually.
