Default Needs pried away from the door, then lifts upward.

That is, if you removed all the screws.

Default Re: Door card help

If "door card" means door panel, then I can help. I have done this so many times, I could do it in my sleep.

Remove little plastic piece hiding screw behind door latch.

Gently pry facing away from "door pull" this exposes 2 screws to be removed.

unscrew and remove inside door lock push button.

Gently pry off the small plastic triangle at the bottom of the window glass. It may or may not also have a small screw that secures the triangle that will need to be removed.

remove door arm rest, I think there is a large screw behind the arm rest to be removed..

Gently pry panel away from door, there are plastic clips that need to be pried loose. These clips are around the edge of lower half of the door panel. Once loose, lift the panel up and out of the track that it rests in at the top of the door.

Inside the door will be a plastic weather proofing sheet that protects the door panel. It can be peeled back, but it likes to tear sometimes, so have some duct tape available to seal over any tears.

If you need to remove the door handle, that is another matter. The door handle does not require removal of the door panel. Ask for directions on how to remove the door handle if you need to know.
