Removing door cards

Yeah I think there may have been a third nut but it was along time ago.

Yep question marks are close. Go in through speaker hole up to your elbow. There is also a screw behind the reflector and another behind the ashtray. When you refit replace the 3 nuts with wing nuts, makes it easier next time.

There is definitely 3 as people have said. My arms were fine to be honest. 10mm socket on a 1/4 ratchet. I had nothing under the ashtray but the screws for the reflector went through to the door. Lift the bottom out then slip it up and off.

I found these so much easier than "wingnuts" to get started

They would be useful for the climate control panel above the gear selector. Ever tried getting a spanner on the nuts with the window switches removed? Door panels are a breeze compared to that.

While you've got the door card off, it's worth rooting around in the bottom of the door. I found a rusted pair of pliers in mine and a couple of nuts that someone must have dropped while trying to reattach the door card.
