Can anyone tell me how to remove the front and back door panels? I remved the screw in the door grip but could not find anything else to remove.

      I tried prying up the trim after I removed the screw in the door grip. I was afraid I would break it if I pryed too hard. Where are the screws for the morror trim piece? Does that plastic cover pry off?

        The mirror trim just prys off. No screws. The trim around the inner handle is difficult. I use a plastic trim tool, about 6" long, 3/4" wide. Place tool horizontally behind trim and twist. The trim clips are tight. Volvo recomends bending the end of a screwdriver to 90deg, grab trim from behind, and pull. Either way, it took mee about 20-30 door panel revovals before I was able to get the handle trim off without breaking it.
