Its simple. Remove your speakers, interior door handle, and the part that you pull to close the door (soz, cant think what to call it :oops:). Then there are four srews at the base of the door to remove. The first time you take it off it may be a little difficult as it has held on by a black tar that seems more adaptable the more its messed with. You will have to push the whole door card up as it is clipped onto the door at the top. Dont forget to pull out the plugs for the electric windows before you pull the card away. Hope that helps you :)

Pretty easy job. Take out the speaker which you get to by taking the small cover off easily. Remove the panel behind the mirror and the long panel next to the window. Then unscrew the handle, disconnect the cable. Now unscrew the grab handle slide it towards the back of the car and lift it up, disconnect the window wires. Now unscrew the 4 screws at the bottom of the panel. The only thing holding it in now is a couple of plastic clips and balck extremly sticky stuff. Thsi is the tough bit to take off as it is sttrong as! Just work slowly around the panel and with patience itll be fine. Obviuosly refitting is just the opposite.
 


Hint: I found on my last two Clios that the top clip on the plastic b-pillar trim on the door wont pop back on securely from some reason. Just keeps popping baclk off. If you have this problem I found that you can remove the female from the trim and pop it onto the male on the door and then slide the trim onto the clip and its fine then.

Pretty much! Got a 172 interior for it so had to change it all, already had taken it all out at one point or another for ICE reasons!

Hardest thing about doorcards is the sticky black stuff!
