Default Door wood trim removal diy?

Can anyone tell me if it just pops out for replacement or is it a more complex procedure? I finally found a matching piece.

it just pops out. It is held in by spring clips. audi recommends a wedge trim tool to prevent damage, but I used a flat blade screwdriver wrapped in a cloth which worked fine. I had to take mine out because it was buzzing and audi's recommended fix is to stick a sticky felt pad behind it. It has worked very well.

Default So are we saying that you should pop it off, starting at the hinge...

end of the door and not the latch end of the door? I ask as I too have a buzzing too sometimes. Thanks
