Like most things- dead easy when you know how.
Remove the frangible clip at the rear of the door. That releases a triangular lump of rubber which is connected to the top trim. Ease it all upwards along the door and there's another triangular lump of rubber at the front which somehow grips the door. Ease that out and you're done.
It does make it a little easier if you have the inner door card off and loosen the top bolt holding the window runner/quarter-light but not essential when removing. Might be different when replacing with a new item but I find that Swarfega (NOT the one with plastic granules in it) works wonders, or Fairy Liquid.
