Door cards on G22 coupe

Has anyone got any information and or instructions as to how to remove and refit the door cards on a G22 coupe?

Should be similar to G20 saloon, probably easier with frame-less doors?

Worth investing in a cheap set of 'special' plastic trim removal tools from Ebay. Makes removing trim much easier than with a screwdriver imho.

Below are three pages extracted from the G20 Workshop manual. Hope they help

That is a HUGE help Vilus, thank you so much!
I've recently had an unfortunate experience with a complete knacker taking out my driver's door mirror which required replacing together with the driver's door window. The BMW Approved Bodyshop have done the repair but failed miserably to align the glass properly so I could well be doing the adjustment myself and needed to know how the door card came off. My car is BMW Individual trimmed and I honestly don't trust the bodyshop not to cock it up again trying to put it right!
