General gist is.

Undo the 3 or 4 philips screws holding back the bottom of the door pockets.

There is a trim strip over the inner door handle. This unclips with the aid of a thin bladed screw-driver.
try not to scratch the trim.

if you have electric mirror switch, gently lever this out of it's hole and unplug the connector.
Same for the puddle light / kerb light if you have one.

Unscrew the two large philips screws holding the door handle to the door.

Feed a flat screw-driver blade into the back of the door pocket from the front.
That is -
If you look into the opening of the door pocket as it curls up at the rear, you should see a hole with a wedge shaped tang located through it.
Use the screwdriver to depress the tand and so release it from the hole.

Un-pop all the clips around the edge of the door card.

Tilt the door card in towards you at the bottom edge and then lift up the whole door card. You are aiming to get the card up and away past the locking button.

This way , you do not need to remove the door scraper seal or the door mirror inner trim plastics.

Hope that helps.
