Step 7 - Insert a large flatblade screwdriver between the door card and the metal frame then twist it to pop the door of its retainers. Repeat this process from the door shut round towards the mirror

Step 8 - Once all the fasteners are popped, wriggle the door card up so that it unhooks at the top where the window glass is

Step 17 - Remove the Torx bolts (2 on the left and one on the right) to allow the rubber to detach from the rest of the scissor mechanism. Lift the glass up to detach

Good write up, my only comment would be to not use flat bladed screwdrivers to take off trim though as it's too easy to puncture the bit of trim. Plastic trim tools are available fairly cheaply and once you've used them you'll wonder how you managed without them previously.

Thanks - That's true enough, I've been doing bits for years and never have an issue but that's not to say I didn't damage bits when I first started so good point
