Hi Thanks for your video, it was a great help. Without it there is a good chance we would have broken the door handle cable mechanism almost surely! The window had stopped going up and down. After using your video to get the trim off we discovered that a nut had come loose from the bottom of the winder mechanism , the retaining bolt had slipped out of the hole in the door and the whole mechanism had moved inward and dropped down, bringing it away from the drive motor gear. The bottom section of the foam cover was removed carefully using a Stanley knife blade to slice the glue layer between the foam and the door preserving the foam and allowing it to be reglued later. The rubber inspection plugs from the top of the door were taken out, showing the top mount for the winding mechanism, which had also slipped out of place. The nut holding the top of the mechanism had to be loosened to allow the whole thing to be lifted upwards and back into place so that it could be refastened too and bottom. We put threadlock on the bottom nut to stop it coming loose again. The foam was reglued in place with contact adhesive. Window works again and door trim back in place. Thank you!!
My van only has a plastic panel covering the sliding door (held in by some simple plastic locking pins) - so effectively no trim. I didn't realise some of them have trim on the sliding door!
@@georgeboydratcliff1036 I have the Grand California which is the campervan version of the Crafter. In this version, there is a soft textile covered trim all over the inside of the sliding door. (As well as the rest of the camper part of the vehicle.) I have an issue with the door opening mechanism (loose cable), I think I need to remove the trim to fix it.

Thank you mate, finally a crafter 2017 video for removing the door covers.
If you remove something else please make a video.
Best wishes from Germany

Have you also removed the trim on the sliding door? Would be nice to have a video of that as well.
