Door panel removal questions

[thomasw]

Hi all!
I have to remove the door panel on my w111 coupe from 1961. I have figured out the most but i don't know what the best way to remove the door lock chrome parts.
It has a little chrome part sitting on the round part, #21 on the parts pictures catalog. Anyone know how to remove that?

Try sliding the two #21 away from the middle of #20. That should reveal two small screws holding #20 in place. Remove the two screws to remove #20.

Lee is correct. Those two trim pieces simply slide to cover the screws that hold #20. Given how everything else is fastened to the panels, I always found this a below par method. It is the same on my '60 Ponton coupe.
