Window switches are clipped in from behind. If you remove them, make sure you get all clips to catch when re-fitting, as it is annoying to have to remove the door panel again when you haven't got one of them in and the switch starts dipping at the unsecured end. Also, don't forget to reconnect the electrical connector before re-fitting the door card. | Window switches are clipped in from behind.

Tools required
- Sharp knife
- Wide flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool
- Medium-sized Phillips-head screwdriver (cross-head, Pozidriv)
- Torx T25 driver
Method
- Remove the circular screw covers on mirror cover (fronts) and door handle recess using a sharp point (knife?). Be very careful not to lose them when they fly out, and take care not to mark the plastic.
- (Fronts only) Remove Phillips screw from mirror cover and remove mirror cover. It is held in with a fairly strong spring clip at the top: just pull firmly and it'll come.
- Remove Torx screw (T25) from door handle recess.
- The door pull (the bit you put your fingers in to pull the door shut) is lined with a plastic L-shaped piece (bottom and "fingers-side") which needs to come out. Using a flat blade screwdriver or similar tool in the gap between the top edge of the plastic part and the door trim, carefully but firmly push it away from you to unclip it, then lift it out.
- Remove Phillips screws from door pull recess: 2 in front doors, 1 in rears.
- Remove Phillips screws from around the door: 6 on front doors and 4 on rears.
- Remove the door card by lifting it up and out. You'll need to remove the connector from the window switches - there's a locking tag to manipulate to get them to release.
Window switches are clipped in from behind. If you remove them, make sure you get all clips to catch when re-fitting, as it is annoying to have to remove the door panel again when you haven't got one of them in and the switch starts dipping at the unsecured end. Also, don't forget to reconnect the electrical connector before re-fitting the door card.
