assumign its nearly identical to the coupe...
open door
remove chrome panel on end of door (three top plate, 5 or 6 bottom plate
remove by pulling from top corner the leather triangle behind / inside of wing mirror
look inside door handle / grab arm, there is a small (1/2" long 1/3" wide) plug covering a large phillips screw. be careful when removing plug - use a small flat screwdriver.
under the arm rest (above) is a 1" diamert plug, rubber, pry out and remove large phillips screw deep inside
in door panel is a SRS badge - again, remove and inside is a phillps screw.
un pop from the bottom all the poppers holding card to door. gently!!! some WILL brake, they are not expensidve part number 007 988 99 78 ($14 for 20)
the next bit requires a bit of force, and guts. when the poppers are removed / loose (there are 20 of them!!) hold the card at about 5 to 10 degrees out, and pull up from the end of the door. there is a long springstrip running the length of the top of the door theis will un peel / spring off - IT IS TIGHT!
getting it back on is reverse - but note the plastic tongue about where the switches are that locates into a hole in the door.
