    Does anyone know how to remove the painted door (not the plastic arm holding this door) which covers the J1772 inlet? It looks like it might be a matter of prying a plastic clip, but wanted to make sure before I attempt this.

    I'm fairly certain that it is glued on. May I ask why you would like to remove the door?

    I'd like to wrap it, thought it would make it a little easier, as it looks like it's just a clip, but if it's glued on, I'll just try to do it without removing the door.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond, appreciate it!

    Hey, no problem. Post the results of your wrapped door if you ever get around to doing that!
