Passenger Door panel Removal

[martin1810]

If you have window winder, take that off.
Door pull handle has front plastic cover, pry that off and undo two bolts behond.
Remove screw near bottom. Use thin spatular or trim tool to prise trim from door along bottom. Once it all feels loose, push up off window rail. Disconnect any wires and handle cable. Lift away. You will be faced with a big metal sheet bolted to the door. AAAGH !

Have tried both internal and external latches at the same time but to no avail. altho i only tried a couple of times, so will try again with more persistance. Thanks for the further info - will keep the thread going with my findings.
Cheers

just out of interest, are all wires like speaker wires etc.. located in front of the metal sheet? Thanks!

All the wires enter the door from the "A" post and so originate from within the door behind the metal sheet. They then come out to the switches, speaker etc. The electronic locking and window electrics are behind the sheet with their wiring.
