[quote="P6RAF"]Here's my experience...
Firstly push/slide the trim as far back towards the opening end as it will go then lift the trim away from the body work at the door opening end. BUT make sure you lift/pull the trim at least an inch away from the panel then using your palm nudge the whole trim towards the front of the door. Most clips will then slide out of the back of the trim staying in the door. Maybe the ones closest the lifted end will break so make sure you have a few spare ready.
However, if you do as I did  :cry: and only lift the trim a centimeter or so away then nudge it forward it breaks/cracks the molded tab from the trim.

Then you're left with a gluing job to try to strengthen the tab so that when refitted it sits flush to the body work. Get this wrong and it doesn't ever sit tightly to the body work and looks terrible.
The remaining clips left in the door can be removed without breaking them if you are careful. I found if you turn the clips so they are an angle, like a diamond, then using some, flat, stiff plastic like a ruler you can push in the coned end from a 3 O'clock position in enough to enable the clip to be pulled/wiggled out.
