Well, my housemate ran past a post in her 2003 S-Type Jag, and ended up taking out her passenger side mirror (poor Jag)

She ordered a replacement mirror, and I am following through the official Jag repair instructions (Exterior Mirror 76.10.52). I already took off the front door frame cover, but I am stomped at this ridiculous instruction "Detach the front door window glass interior trim panel"

That instruction alone offers no tips as to how to properly remove the trim panel. The panel seems to be fixed firmly around the window frame, and I am really worried about breaking it during the removal process.

Has anyone done this type of removal in the past? If so, care to share some pointers, such as where the retainers/clips are located?

I need to remove the panel, to access the three bolts that secure the side mirror to the car.

Anyway, please help. thanks

Update: I did not manage to remove the window glass interior trim panel, but thank god that I have tiny hands, so I can work around the tight space with no wrench.. (improvise with deep socket + big screw driver as torque to unscrew)

God who designed Jaguar this way? why oh why
