Yep checked all screws all done, just the very  top where the locating Strip is can not get it to pop out the lift the card out.

Are you sure you've removed the 'secret' screw in the facelift guide?

Should be able to thump it with the palm of your hand at the bottom.

Funnily enough I have just done this today to get at my door strap.
I found it was just held extremly tightly on the top edge. It was a case brute force with a lot of care.

But I did make sure all cables and screws where disconnected first.

provided the door card will angle out at the bottom to get a good grip on the bottom edge it is just a case of lifting the card directly up. Some brute fource is needed, and you may find the black clip strip will break away from the door card. Glue and short self tappers fix that.
