Door Panel Removal

I need to get my door panel off as the damper has snapped back into the door. DOes anyone have any instructions how to do this.

I have already removed every screw visible, plus the one at the door opener and another covered screw. I've removed the electric window controls and unplugged. I've tried to remove the speaker cover to discover it should not be removed as a bit snapped on it.

Assume there are no manuals showing you how to do this?

Most door cards also have several 'popper' clips around the edge. If you prise out the bottom rear corner you should see if this is the case. They often need quite a pull to disengage, try to use something like a paint scraper as a lever, its width will minimise the risk of damage.

Thanks for this, more force required

Yes there is clips around it that hold it in..just use a flat blade screwdriver as the doors wont damage from this...they are quite easy to get off just push the screwdrive between the door panel and doo itself and slide the screwdriver along until it stops as it would hit a clip THEN pull up on the screwdriver and he clip will pop out...just continue doing this until they are all off and then you will need to push the panel up to get it off the window cill and it will come off.
