1992 Celica, door card removal SOLVED

[johnhe]

Door latch not returning into pocket, have removed plastic pops and various screws, card is still held in area of "door open" light, above door pocket on trailing edge of door.

Trying to avoid breaking door card, any tips regarding other fastenings appreciated.

Regards

Solution;    There is a screw, behind the inner plastic light unit, that is not visible on removing the red lens (also screws behind latch surround cover.)

I suspected attempted theft  with implement down window, this was not the case. The (dry) lock was catching and holding the latch open. This may be resolved by removing the top lock screw and applying release /lubricant into the lock without removing door card.
