If you mean the pull handle, you need to pop off the centre of it. If you mean the release lever, the screws are under the card and you need to set the lever to open when you pull off the card. Tis dead easy. Come exmouth tonight and i'll show you if you like.

As Andy says, there are 2 screws under the grab handle.

To get to these you need to pull the chrome handle as if you're opening the door, get a screwdriver in the gap and prize the centre of the grab handle out (is easier than I've just made it sound :lol:)

you dont need to touch the chrome with the screw driver mate.

pull chrome handle as if door openning.hold there and place flat screw driver donw in slot where the chrome handle was.

prize the inset trim towards you (gentally) (sp) until it clips out. theres 2 big gold screws one in top and one in bottom.

o btw my front speakers (new ones) are size (depth) 2-3/16 im not sure what that is measured in but will they fit into the door without interfeering with my window? this would be great help to me if anyone knew because if it wont i can go and buy a adapter now rather than later, saving a lot of time and stress. thanks
