Yes, you have to get at them from the back, then pinch the back with a screw driver then push it through

side skirts also have clips you have to slide them forward (i think it's been awhile) after you remove the screws.

Remove Door panels and use a screw driver or flathead to unlatch it.

remove cover by the mirror there is a screw in behind the innir door handle one in the door pull arm rest and 3 in behind the speaker cover then the rest should just be clips i think best to start at the bottom and work up the top hooks over the edge of the door good luck post some before and after ppics when you get it done.
