interior trim removal question

how do you take of the panel on the drivers door which contains the windows and door lock switches, i am wanting to send it for painting

I did this the other day, its a bloody nightmare.

You see all the brass screws on the back of the doorcard, you need to take most of them out. There are a couple of hidden ones too where i had to punch my screwdriver through the doorcard to get to them.

cheers mate, mucho thanks

There might be a guide somewhere, but here's a few pointers.

Screws on the bottom , there's also a couple of plastic covers which conceal screws - located near the hinge.

Also plastic rivets, push in the centre pin and the whole thing will pull out.

If you remove the inside door latch, there'll be a bolt tucked away behind this (this is easlily missed).

Is that not instructions for removing the door card? Think he was after info on removing the window switch panel from the doorcard itself.
