    just give it a bit of tap with your hand under the trim and it should come of

    the door trim slides up and off the door seal. Once you have removed all the screws it should lift off.

    yes you need to take the window winder off before you can take the door card off, if you have electric windows you need to take the switches out before you take remove the door cards

    the pop up lock is actually ment to be removed first before taking the door cards off. to remove insert a sharp pointy tool into the centre of the orange part of the popup lock, carefully prise the orange insert from the popup lock slide the popup lock button off of the control rod and remove the door card.
