If you are trying to lock the vehicle ... and one lock is staying open (and you get a grinding noise from one of the doors ... it's a failed lock actuator in that door.

When it comes to removing door trims ... I know about the front doors (as I own a ute and that's all I have taken off) ... there are 2 10mm bolts ... one behind a round cover/cap .... and the other is behind the door handle itself ... you need to pry the backing of the door handle off (flatblade screwdriver and a cloth) ... but gentle .. but give it a bit of force ... if you get my drift.

It will eventually come off ... sometime 2 flatblades help in this process.

The rest of the screws around the door trim ... and there is a screw under the power window switches (if you have them) that holds a tab into the door frame as well.

That's about all that I can think of.
