Default Removing rear door trims/panels

I had the unfortunate experience of a child vomiting all over my rear door, and the rear seat where the seat meets the footwell (mostly on the mat, but some still on the carpet)

I'm looking for information on how I can remove the rear door panel/trims so that I may clean in between the gaps, and also make sure that my ML speakers haven't been damaged!

The worst thing is that I have the alcantara interior and I'm worried about damage to it, so I want to try and take the trim off and properly clean it, if it unhooks easy enough...

Can anyone help with pictures/photos from the manuals?

Thanks in advance

I've never taken off the rears but I've taken off the fronts. You can probably start by taking off the covers where the lock/handle is and unscrew whatever is behind that and then take off the window switches by just gently taking it off with your hand alone or a screw driver with a towel over it. That should get you started, not sure what else there is.

Its really easy to take apart anything. You just gotta find all the hidden screws. When you acutally pull it apart you gotta pull hard enough to allow it to pop out. But make sure you find all the "HIDDEN screws" and loosen them or else you may break something. Flat head is your friend!

Thanks guys,

Yeah I found that via searching before (My bad, I should have been a bit clearer but it was 3:30am when I posted :P) but I was more after the clip locations.. I'm a bit wary of just pulling in random locations, I'd rather find out where the clips are and gently ease them off one by one using a pry tool
