hello, i assume what you are referring to as the bolster is the panel surrounding the window and door lock bezel. i cannot get this to seperate from the door panel itself. put quite a bit of pressure on it and it would not pop loose. did not want to break plastic. you said start from bottom corner. is that left or right? and follow the arrows but diagram shows no arrows. do you have any pictures with bolster and panel seperated as this would be great. doing this for a friend and dont want to damage anything.

thanks for any help that can be given, danny
