I take these vehicles apart on a daily basis - what "sheet" are you talking
about?

There's the B-Pillar cover (trim), mastic patch (under the trim), and some
have a vinyl sheet under the panels for sound and weather-proofing.

On the door itself, there's the shiny plastic trim on the outside which is
normally black or the color of the vehicle (model depending). If this is
the part you're referring to, it's a dealer item only. You'll need to warm
it up slightly to remove it (PITA in some cases) and then remove it.

Subject: DML: Black Vinyl Sheeting

I have a 2K Dak CC and hope someone out there has some experience with this.
The rear posts on my doors, from the top of the doors to the bottom of the
window openings, has a black vinyl sheet on the posts. Mine have become
scrathed, I have tried touching them up but the results are not very good.
It looks as though the sheeting can be pulled off but I wouldn't attempt it
without a replacement. Is this something I can get from a body/paint supply
store or perhaps from the dealer?
