Removing door cards - is there a trick?

[ianeire]

I removed the opening handle, the grab handle, the speaker cover, the screws around the edge and the inner of the B-pillar but the door card itself doesn't seem to want to come off.

Am I missing something? Are there missing screws? I wanted to, but didn't, use too much physical force lastnight for fear of breaking clips etc.

there are some scews along the bottom edge, and some plastic pop clips around the outside. It's also held on by a really strong sticky substance around the edge.

Ive written a guide here

Thanks fubar, I was on the right track so. Just the strong sealant putty remaining!

Just pull hard, there's little chance of breaking anything.

I used a butter knife to help cut through the putty... you'll know why when you see it.
