Remove all wood

Does anyone know how to remove the wood trim from the doors of a W215 CL? I have removed the wood where the seat controls are. I need to remove the wood with the window controls and the long decorative strip of wood from the door (and the similar long strip from the rear passenger area).

with the door panel off, the wood trim is attached from the inside if the door panels.

That's what I figured, thanks.

I was able to get everything out except the door strips (front and back), the rolling wood on the rear cubby, and the window controls. Those pieces I had carbon fibered while still on the car. Everything else was removed and carbon fibered. I didn't feel like pulling the door panels.

I'll try to get pictures sometime soon. It looks great. It looks like dry carbon, where you can see and feel the texture, versus wet carbon, which is basically clear coated and what you see more commonly in cars (it's cheaper to make).

Price was $500 with installation. Materials is probably $150 to do it yourself. I've heard mixed reports of people doing it themselves, so I had a pro do it.
