Hey Guys,

A simple question from a simple newbie.
How do I take the door cards off/out?
The car is a facelift sedan with the cloth door cards not the leather ones and electric windows.

Thanks very much :D

Start by removing the large cross head screws from the door pulls (recessed under neath), carefully prize out the door card clips around the perimeter using your fingers only (none along the top). Slide the rectangular door release surrond clip to one side and remove it. Finally lift the door card over the lock button.

How about the screw behind the mirror switch (or blank) then? Lock pin has to be unscrewed as well.
