Rear door card removal challenge

Rear door card removal challenge
So followed numerous threads on this, removed the bolts behind the upper trip, removed the bolt behind the tweeter cover and the one in the lower door pocket. Which from what I have read are all the fixings. But the door card doesn't budge, almost impossible to get behind and pull it off. What am I missing?, it feels like if I try any harder I will force something and break it.

You have to pull the lower edge of the door trim panel VERY VERY hard...I’m definitely going to break something hard. You will break some of the clips in the process so have some replacements on hand.

Thanks Dave, it felt almost impossible to get my fingers under it. I'll give it another go

I did this a few months ago to repair a dented speaker grill.
It does take a lot of force to pull off the clips, and you are right there is no place to get your fingers or a tool in. A gentle outwards pull will not work, it needs to be a jarring yank.
I would start in a corner, like the speaker corner. Once you get a couple clips undone, then you can see a bit inside to identify the clips clips so you can figure our where to apply your force. Some how I managed to not break any.
