Tips on taking doors apart

Starting work on our car.

How do you get the inner door lock handles off? The ones on the inside of the door.

There are no visible screws. But don't want to prise it off then find out there's a concealed screw.

(Can someone tell me how to add a picture to a post?)

Actually found it. You need to push back the spring loaded fertile and there's a pin holding the handle on.

I got as far as trying to take the window channels off and ran into a problem.

From what I can tell there are some screws going through the window channel into the window frame, which also go through some small wooden brackets holding the wooden trim in place. But I can't seem the heads of the screws and imagine they are going to be rather stubborn.

Is there somewhere where is can get new window channels if I damage them? Woolies and masts in only do black.

You need to remove the old felt to get access to the small screws holding the channels. A new felt is available. See more here:

That site looks very informative, but I can't read much.

What is the order to get the window out?

Felt
Channels
Front guide
?
