All 4 doors are a torx screw at each end from inside then slide the towards the front of the car, they just drop off then. Wings strips are a single 10mm nut behind the arch liner but take the repeaters out first :y

No, they are quite close to the door edges so no need ;)

For the wing strips yes, for the doors no! They are held on with 2 strips of trim tape as well as the slide clips. Very labourious! I use a sharpened putty knife. Very carefully work your way along the top edge avoiding the paintwork, then along the bottom. They then slide off towards the front of the car, then 3 hours with a hairdryer peeling what's left of the trim tape.
