Trim removal of driver's door on a 2006, that says it.... The 2006 has what appears to be one less screw than what is shown in the Bently repair book... I seem to have most of the door trim loose but there's one spot that doesn't want to let go which could be where the "missing screw" would be but there's no way to get at it if there is one. It could be one of the door fasteners but I've tugged and pryed and don't want to break it... any ideas out there...
I'm trying to switch speakers...
Regards,
Mike

 

There is still one underneath the armrest.

Slide a credit car under the front leading edge of the arm rest and pull the arm rest towards the front of the car, it will come loose.

 

Sorry but this is SO IRONIC.

I just got done taking apart my door, literally, as in I just got in from doing it. I have an 05, and from 05 on the door has one MORE screw than 04s, 03s, and 02s. What you need to do? There is a clip that holds the pad on the door. 1.) To get at it use something like a flathead screwdriver or something like shown in the pic. 2.)Depress, then slide the pad towards the inside of the car, to reveal the mystery bolt (3).

For future reference, here are official MINI instructions for removing the 05/06 door panel. It comes from page 4 of this PDF: http://motoringfile.com/files/2005_M...rm_Install.PDF
