Owen, Damian,
Great post, it'll surely become a reference for folks in the future.
In that spirit let me add 2 things:
1. "Fir tree" refers to the door card's plastic holding pins. Their texture will remind you of a fir (aka pine) tree.
2. One or two of these fir tree pins is likely to break, especially the 1st time you do the job.
This post will help with that:

FWIW figure it'll take 20-25 minutes the first to remove the door card, it'll be down to 5 minutes before you know it.
Getting that little protector plug out of the door handle's screw area takes the longest amount of time.
One more heads up: when you disconnect the puddle light wire to remove the door card - expect the connector's silver safety retainer to do everything it can to launch itself into the bowels of your shop. ( guess how I know ;-)) protect it with your hand.
