Default Removal of interior door card on Sapphire 4x4

My god this must sound basic Removed all the screws i can see but the door card still won't come off, think their must be a screw in the handle that you use to open & shut the door with, does the plastic trim on the handle pop apart somehow to reveal a screw ? Can't believe i'm strugling with a door card ffs

Cheers Simon.

And after you unscrewed them, in order to take it off u must lift it from right, pull it towards you a little and then lower it from left(where the mirror is).

As said there are three in the door handle, or are you meaning the door release ?, if so there is on there, then just gently prise away "frame" part and slide around lever.
The door HANDLE CAPPING comes off with a smal screwdriver inserted at the front edge, then just pull back enough to grab hold of and wiggle it out.
One on fron tedge, two on rear edge, two on bottom of pocket, one around mirror, behind cap.
door card is on metal clips, if mirror plastic taken off above panel just lift the bottom out say 5" then sharp pull up and little wiggle, there are four metal clips it snaps into.

Got it off now thanks I must say that the door cards on 4x4 saph are a much better fit/design than my old 3dr with those silly plastic bits that pop in the holes & break !

Now i can get on & fit the stereo !

Cheers Simon.
