There are only 3 screws holding the door card in place the rest of its fixings are of the type you mention! the screws are located behind the door handle, you need to remove the dimpled part of the handle by twisting it, with this removed the main part of the handle should now come out? now you can see the screws? with these removed you can start levering the doorcard away from the door IIRC there 8/9 clips holding it in place, when all these are removed or broken! the card should come off? there is a vapour barrier that should NOT BE CUT! use a sharp blade and insert it parallel to to door inbetween the vapour barriers butyle seal so that its left on the vapour barrier so it can be stuck back in place

you will only need to peel back enough to give you acces to the mirrors electrical plug, there are two screws holding the mirror in place and these are hidden behind blanking plugs on the inside of the door pop these out and undo the screws and it should fall off! just reverse the prodcedure to refit all the parts you have removed and throw away away any bits you have lft over :o

Be wise and go to your dealer and buy some clips they cost pennies and will save you going back once you break some of the old ones .

I bought a hot glue gun from Woolworths, invaluable coz all the mountings rip off the door panel when you try to pull it off.
