Three torx hold the end plastic section on (one by the mirror blank, two behind the speaker grill), i think they are T15 or T20, either way they are pretty small. Then the two big torx that hold the door handle on, they are T35 or T40 me thinks. If youve got a trim removal tool, that might help if not then consider a big flat head screw drver.

Be carefull when working the card off the door as the clip near the door mirror is more of a hook over type than a snap in stylee - the door card sort of hooks over it.

Frost do a very handy pair of flat levers with slots down the middle for levering off the cards and little white poppers without tearing the card. If you break any poppers though, I have seen them in an ordinary car accessory shop.
