Removing the door paneling

[jazzzza]

Heya
Do any of you know how to (carefully) remove the door panelling? I can't find any guides. I need to get at the window (the bottom) as my manual crank seems to have gone (but I need to get in to see exactly what the problem is).
Any one know how to do this?

Remove two phillips head screws from each top corner
remove phillips screw which is hidden behind chrome
pull handle. can be seen with handle pulled.
the rear plastic thing then slides to one side and can be pulled
out c/w cable
there are two allen head screws concealed in holes in
door pull handle to be loosened with allen key. 4or5mm I
think. you have to feel around to locate same
the pull handle can then be removed with switches
remove plastic cover and screw from winder
the cover can then be removed by tapping upwards
collect rubbers from plastic door clips for reuse
