Exclamation [video] Explaining the process of removing a 992 interior door card

This video is as short as I could reasonably make it while touching on the basics. It's a bit different from the 991 and in a few ways, a tick trickier the first time around. I hope this helps all of you DIY'ers and anyone else needing it:

From what I have read, this is not needed. My lights will be here in a couple of days and I don't plan to remove the door panels (or door cards, either).

We have a number of reasons we may pull door cards (it tends to hover around our advanced PPF wraps limiting a seam above the side view mirror stem) but I shared this for all the reasons someone else may want to such as replace a part or wanting to modify something.

Thanks for sharing. Wish the Lambo guys were this helpful. I could not find one helpful video on how to pull my Huracan door panel. The car has been around for years!

Useful video, thanks for posting.

So here's the deal on calling the panel a 'door card'--that's a new term for me. From Wikipedia:

"A door card (in British English) or a door panel (in American English) is an insert on the door of a vehicle that covers the door's internal components."

Lamborghini makes great cars for their segment. But, IMHO, they are just not engineered to be pulled apart, serviced and put back together anywhere close to how well Porsche does so. I won't put it in print, but I have my own .02 as to why you are going to be really hard pressed to find video tutorials for disassembling Lamborghini's in certain ways.

I don't intend to sound pretentious by calling them door cards...I'm definitely not an Englishman. It's just what I've always called them and when handling them, they feel like one big, and expensive, cardboard "card" anyways. When others call them door panels I know what they mean all the same. But I refer to the outer leather-clad card as the door card and the inner plastic panel as the inner door panel.
