meh do you want me to blow your nose and wipe your arse too?

might be easier to remove the mirror which involves removing the door card

otherwise you need a flathead screwdriver and lever inbetween the black base and the coloured cover - think there are 3 clips which need to come undone

they slide up then angle towards you then slide outwards away from the door, and there very tight but be brave

Post by: jonnyturbo on 21 February 2009, 09:32: open door. There is a few screws along the bottom. Where the tweeter speaker is there is a little screw. Then carefully clip apart the door handle and then disconnect the window/door lock electric plug. Then remove door card. Just a quickie
