The worse bit is popping off the pull cover. As recommended (by pat) I would suggest levering on the underside of the seam as you can mark the plastic slightly. Just take your time over this and the rest is easy. You do need a bit of effort popping the cover off.

I helped someone recently replace a Mk4 golf's door cards with leather ones and I used a small knife on the underside then a small screwdriver and it hardly marked it at all so will do the same

The small screwdriver didn't mark it really. I thought a small knife might have struggled with it (flex).

Either way, you know what you're doing I'm sure its going to be a doddle.
