To remove door trim: -Remove lock and door lever surround -Remove arm rest (two philips head screws) -Remove power window switch (where applicable) -Pop trim retaining clips out of door frame (carefully; they're on the very edge and there's about 10) -Lift trim upwards to take it off the door frame. If you exterior door handle is loose, check the two 10mm retaining nuts inside the door.

the door trim is really easy to get off. first take all of the brackets off around the door handle electric window and central locking thing. also a black triangle near the side mirror then grab a screw driver and put it between the trim and door. pry them apart, just be carefull not to rip at the trim to hard other wise u could break it.... u must have been writing at the same time as me lol opps and the door handle lol

As stated do not rip at the door trim when removing it from the door the clips behind it are very fragile as they're 20 years old. Lever them firmly but slowly with your fingers/small flat-head. If you have window winders you will need to remove the winder arm before the trim will come off, there is a special tool to do this, or you can use a piece of cloth, its hard to explain how to do it without showing you though.
