Removing Rear Door Cards

Anyone here who has done an interior swap have any tips on removing the rear door cards? Going to be installing my Revozport door cards soon.

Any info is appreciated.

I removed the rear seat first. But I think you could just remove the bolsters next to the rear seats (instead of everything which is kind of a hassle). From there I just slowly worked from the back to the front popping the tabs up as I went. You have to use a bit more force than it feels like you should but it'll pop right off the tabs and should be all good! I just used my fingers but an interior trim tool or a medium flathead screw driver could help.

^+1. You can actually remove the cards without taking out the seat (that's how I did it) but since you're doing a full swap it would be easier with that seat removed. No special tools are needed, just pick a corner and lightly pull to break those clips free. Depending on how old the car is and what climate you live in these tabs could be very brittle. I had to replace one or two...but they are cheap (like 5 cents)
