Before, i get my ass handed to me, I have been searching on this forum and the web on how to remove the interior door panels of cars, but i was hoping that i could get some advice from someone who has actually removed an EK1's interior door panels, cos i really dont want to break any of the fasteners.
I was thinking of heading down to supercheap to get some tools to do the job, and so far i think they should sell panel removers or i'll probably settle for the flat-tip screwdriver.
My EK has power-windows and keyless-entry, so i was wondering how do i remove the buttons as well? Also, for the wiring and such, would I cause any problems to the keyless-entry as it also comes with an alarm.
Any advice greatly appreciated! :)

Don't worry. You won't get your ass handed to you. Just this link: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84837&highlight=trim

Remove the side mirror case, undo 1 screw behind the door handle (inside) and 1 screw on the door/arm holder and 3 screws holding the speaker, pop a door trim remover/screwdriver in the trim, push it outwards. There should be about 6 clips holding the trim.

Lift the trim up and pull out, undo the wiring harness and you're done.

Just remember that when you put it back you'll have to insert the trim top down first from the window gap.

its very simple to do, you dont need any other tools other than a screw driver.
The window switches are simple unpluggin, after you have taken the side mirror backing and speaker out, its a matter of pulling from the bottom until you hear pops of the clips coming out than push up.

Sweet thanks.. I'll probably be doing it this weekend, will let you guys know how it turns out.. I'm trying to put in new exterior handles after someone broke into my car, and the panel beaters quoted me like $88 to put in the handles for me.. No way i'm gonna be paying that much..
