   Can you replace the door pins without taking off the interior panel?
   
   Looking at something like these:

   No offence mate but they look a bit tacky.....
   
   Try de-pinning instead...easy to do and improved security!

   I'm not a fan of them tbh, but it's your choice.
   
   You will definatly have to take the door card off...it's easy though so shouldn't be a problem.
