Hi guys. Anyone know how to remove the decorative plastic panels on the doors?

I bought some better looking replacements for my xlt that have some adhesive strips on the back. I tried using a plastic pry tool to remove the existing panels, but didn't want to break my factory ones trying to remove them.

Bonus points for expediancy, my Ram owning FIL is here by noon.

Here is an example of the part I'm referring to. "door panels" apparently covers a wide range of parts.

Ah weird. The pic didn't attach.

It's the little corner accents. The Sport trim has a pic of Detroit. My XLT has this gross blackish gray with printed silver crinkle specs. Horrid.

Regardless, here's a shitty update. There's like 4 screws and two stupidly designed rivets. Found this out after prying off one of the panels from the rear seat. Only after prying it off and breaking all attachment points did I figure out the aftermarket panels are designed to go OVER the factory panels.

I really like the aftermarket ebony wood panels. I had to use some glue to get them to stick (and to reattach the broken factory panel)
