Not 'door' cards I know ... Doesn't say in the haynes manual and I can't find any info on this site. It's not obvious to me. Any help much appreciated!

I know this doesn't really help but getting them out is the easy bit! Getting them back in without snapping them into a thousand pieces is the trick!

i found that if you pull them down and bend a bit it should come out.
basically its alot of pulling, squeezing, bending and swearing. took me about 20mins per side.
once the top bit is out from the little 'hook' they should be able to come out. its hard and will take ages.

do you really need to remove them?
because putting them back is is so hard that i didnt bother in the end. i would have been happy but for some reason they glue a big black rubber thing on the inside of the panel. is that wasnt there it be good but i think i would make things worse so i just left it in there.

Take the rear bin liners out first, pull the card forward at the bottom a little bit and then down Like the others say, mind you dont snap them!

I didn't find it all that hard, came out first time and back in first time for me

Just like push them down so it gets out of the top lip thing then take out.
Putting back in, push in at the bottom and then bend it so it can fit under the top lip.

Pretty much what others have said

Oooo and if your rear seats arent bolted in, take the back bit of the seat out too

The way I did it was remove the bottom liners and rear seat, then pull them forwards and downwards as much as possible, then hook an allen key around the front of the card and pull the first bit of the top edge out, then basically pull like mad and they came out. The top edge does get scuffed up a little bit, but just be as careful as you can.

Never found this tricky at all - pocket liners out then push firmly from the middle with slight downward pressure exerted with the flat of your hand - and more often than not they pop out of the top rail - if that doesn't immediately do it repeat but with a butter knife in other hand and very gently prise top of card out of top rail...

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess there's no trick to doing 'em. Just bend them and hope they don't break. Unavoidably having to remove them. Having some extensive bodywork repairs undertaken. Will post photos, stay tuned!
