Do I need to remove the door panel to install this?

No. This cover slides over the existing armrest assembly. You don't have to take the door apart—just align it with the factory mounting points and secure it in place.

What adhesive or fasteners work best for installation?

Installation hardware is not included. Test-fit first before committing to a fastening method. Most installers use contact cement or panel adhesive for a clean fit, but confirm the mounting method that works for your setup.

Can I paint this cover if I want a different color?

The cover arrives in black. If you plan to paint it, light sanding and a plastic-compatible primer and paint will work, but test on a small area first to ensure adhesion.
