1986 740 door card removal problem

[1509]

Hi
New to the forum.
I have taken off a front door card for a 1990 740 electric windows no problem
I am now trying to take the front card off a 1986 electric window 740 and as far as I am aware I have taken off all the retaining clips and screws but the card will not budge away from the door.
Has anyone had a similar issue or can offer any advice as to what I may have missed.
Thanks

Have you pulled out the little red light and disconnected that ? All the white clips along the bottom out ?

They can be a bit sticky sometimes and need a pull up the way once everything is disconnected

This might help

Hi Thanks very much for your reply.
Its strange it still feels like it is still clipped on but all the clips have been taken off.
Even with a screwdriver under the bottom and using a bit of gentle persuasion its not moving it feels like there is something still holding it on.
Do the fittings on the bottom still sometimes retain it even though the clips have been taken out?

Looking in Haynes Book of Wonders I note that there are apparently three different methods of removal depending on year. Well you learn something new all the time!

I attach a photo of the relevant extract for an 1986 car ....

Have you removed the speaker covers as well ?
