no there isnt any hidden ones but make sure you get the one out from where the handle/lever bit is tho.

they are pretty sturdy so come out quite easily.....well mine did

Mate, make sure you undo all the screws !!! When I removed my door cards from the Rex there were a couple that werent in obvious places. Dont force it mate as the plastic is over 12 years old and quite brittle !

This is copied from your workshop manual:

Hope it helps !!

Just for reference.

Drivers door - basically as above .. BUT

Passenger door.

Screw behind bottom of hand grip
Screw behind window switch

then the same as driver door .. BUT

Don't do what I did and leave the windows open - dismantle car then realise that I no longer have a switch to close windows with !! .. doh
