pretty easy
- take out rear ashtray unit, undo torq 30 under there.
- unplug the 2 x plugs from behind the ashtray for the lighting and switches (important you do this as most probably you will damage the ribbon for the lighting).
- pull off the panel below the handle to reveal 2 x torq 30, remove these.
- pull off SRS plastic cover, there will be another torq 30 under there.
- rest is held on by door clips and the panel should pull off
- you will have to unclip the door handle cable once the main panel s off.
job done, just be carefull of that ribbon cable about $45 to replace if you damageit.
