From memory the unit either has a screw underneath or slides off forward or backwards. You've removed the srcrews from the door pocket & the armrest, haven't you?

Hi,

To remove the door latch, you need to remove the finger guard first. This is done by pulling the door handle open and prising the guard tabs out carfeully with a screwdriver from the front i.e. leading edge of the finger guard. Once the door latch finger plate is removed, the rest of the door latch housing is held with a single screw. You may need to also use the widest possible flatblade screwdriver when prying the door card away from the door to prevent distortion of the panel.

Hope this helps,

Ben :bounce:
