afoo said he done few times oledi. he said the doorcard will not get damaged. macgyver way he said. haiyaaa... no time to bring the car to him laa...
from the internet, its quite common problem for e39...even with the rear seat removed clearance to takeout the doorcard is very minimal. must try wit smaller hand later...
first take out the retaining screw that hold the door handle. next peel the top of the panel, make sure the lock pin is out of from the hole.
then u pull hard the door panel with one hard pull. keep pulling till all the door clips are loose. but i dont think this is mcgyver way... more like skinhead way...:top:
