You have to open the door a tad and push the door inwards, so the hinges slide towards the centre of the car. The hinges are L shaped and you have to hook them out off the pillar.

Does that makes sense?.... it's very difficult and fidley if you haven't done it before.

Hmm, since you've managed to get that far, would anywone be able to help me with some advice on removing the actual door-card from the rear doors?

I've removed all the handles and popped off the clips keeping it on the door, but the internal door-close handle seems to be holding everything on and I cant figure out how to take this off?

The front doors were a doddle, but this as me baffled.

Any help would be appreciated.
