Can some one please tell me how i take these door cards out as i do not want to break them

i am fitting speakers in the door but dont want to chop them up like all the other?

any one know how ?
 
yes, but i have been busy, sometimes we are not at your beck and call.....
so lose the attitude, get used to answers taking time to come along

but since i am here now, from the top of my head, here goes...

look around the handles, iirc, 3 cross head screws on the underside
door bins, three more
the door pull surround, slides and clicks off
the top plastic panel, slide a flat blade under where it meets the card, will pop off
the card itself, go round the edges, easing it back with the flat blade, will feel the fasteners pop off


voila...door card off

If there are window winder handles, you'll need to release the small wire horseshoe clip that holds each handle on. The wire is about the thickness of a paper clip (there's a hint in case you lose the clip :)). There is a special removal tool you can buy which makes the job really easy. http://www.diseno-art.com/products/tools/window_winder_clip_removal_tool.html

See http://holdenpaedia.oldholden.com/Removing_Door_and_Window_Handles - I know that those old Holdens have almost nothing in common with our FIATs, but you will be surprised to know that window winder handle clips are common to many, many models ;)

Otherwise, just push the door card inwards so you can see the ends of the clip on the back of the handle, and flick the clip ends out with a small screwdriver.

On the subject of special tools, it's really worth having a door panel removal tool as well. http://images.google.co.nz/imgres?i...q=door+panel+removal+tool&hl=en&safe=off&um=1 shows the thing I'm talking about. I have been called a 'tool whore' before, but you find this sort of thing really handy in the long term. :eek:
