   Anybody got any idea's on the best way to mask the holes created when removing door pins? I'm not keen on putting grommets in and would definately prefer to try and make the holes invisible! Cheers all.

   you could tape the bottom then get some filler from halfords and fill the hole... then get some black paint to match the door pannel and paint it to match. or u could paint it silver or if u have colour coded the interior trim the same colour as that. Might be best to paint it a diff colour as the colour of the finish might look different to the original colour of the trim.

   Ta for that, think getting a match might be hard. Think i'll probably try to do as you say and tape and fill it. Colour match might not be exact but it'll be better than a hole! Cheers for that mate!

   with mine I just cut the pin down to size and used it to cover the hole so the pin would be level with the rest of the door trim.
