Quite an easy job.

Remove the door handle plastic insert by pushing it out from the back. There is a small gap to allow you to do this

Next you need to remove the trim piece below this, again there is a gap to allow you to get it out, it comes out easy so don't force/scratch anything.

Which leaves all the screws to remove

Then unplug the unit.

You can now start to unpop the clips, there is a hole at the bottom to allow you to get a tool in to help pop it out; they come out quite nicely and don'ty tend to break.

You need to unclip the door handle L thing. It is quite simple; it hooks into the car, and a plastic clip holds it in place, lift it out, and turn it out of the plastic clip.

This is what it looks like when removed

You will also need to unclip the plug wire clip from door card, it simply pulls out.

The door card will now just lift over the window gap.

When I replaced mine, I removed the tweeter covers for ease. I also clipped in the door handle clip first, and the wiring clip.

Don't forget to plug back in the door lock, window control, and door handle!
