if you want to install insuflex in the door panels, you'll have to stick it onto the plastic panel itself
if you stick it inside the metal cavity, it will accumulate dirt and promote rust
insulating door panels for heat is not worth the effort as most of the heat comes through the roof and the front and rear glasses
having a good tint, using sunshields for front and back glasses, installing insuflex on the roof metal and cracking your window open about 1cm when parked would be a much better option for heat reduction

if you still insist on removing the door panels and installing your insuflex, heres how you do it

1. the door latch handle has a little flap in its cavity
use a test pen to flip it open and remove the screw behind it
2. you'll find 1 more screw in the handle cavity
remove that and along with the handle cup which the screw is holding down too
3. look sideways at your window winder
you will see a spring clip holding in
use a test pen to push it off
this can be achieved by pushing on one of the clip tips
if pushing on one tip doesnt work, try pushing on the other
this has always worked for me
4. now slowly start to pop the panel off the door starting from one of the botton corners moving towards the top
once you reach the top, do the same from the other corner
5. unhook it from the window sill and you are done
6. try not to drop it face down as this plastic scratches very easily

if you are familiar with the system, this whole process should take no more than 5minutes

well, i was looking at it but i'll lose sooo much booth space
the new saga on the other hand has a booth that was designed to fit in a gas tank
thats y the booth is so deep
its so that when that car replaces the taxis, it wont be like today's taxis where all you can put in the booth is your hand lugage
your check-in lugage (i.e. the big stuff) has to go in the back seat
so rediculous
but as the price of petrol increases, im seriously contemplating if i should sacrifice my booth to save money
only prob is there are a lot of 'copy' systems out there being marketed as 'originals'
they are made locally in ppl's workshops with little or no QC
they are copied from the design of the ori imported systems

as this is a highly hazardous system, i really want to get an ori setup installed by a pro
i also want a composite tank to save on weight
the old metal tank versions are so heavy
the composite tank also endures crashes better

bro
to remove the roof panel:

- unscrew your rear view mirror, and the 2 sun visors at the front of your car.
- unclip the cabin light cover. you can use your hands. there are 4 clips iinm, one on each corner
- unscrew the cabin light housing
- unscrew the passanger roof handles. u'll have to unclip the covers for the screw points. just lever them out with your fingers
- pull out all the push clips along the back (not sure if there are any on the front) basically remove them all. they look like little plastic discs on the roof. i used a large edge cutter as it has to very solid parallel flat surfaces which i can wedge under two sides of the disc. then lever them out gently without damaging the roof plastic. DO NOT CUT!!!. just use it as a lever
- the roof should come off easily

before you glue your insuflex or other choice of insulation onto the roof metal, you might want to re-route the ariel and cabin light wires.
mine were pretty messy
also remember to leave access holes in the insulation for all connection points. e.g. the arial wire
also, remove the arial by unscrewing it from the inside
clean the rubber foot and roof properly
apply a little high temp silicone on the foot which will be sitting on the roof surface
screw back the arial firmly (do not overtighten as this will crush and distort the rubber foot
remember to check that the arial is aligned with the car body

this is a potential leakage point in the car so might as well prevent the leak before it happens

remember to use insulation which is not thick
if the insulation is too thick, you will have trouble fixing the roof cover back on as the clips and all will be too short
and you will also risk it popping out in the future due to too much stress on the anchor points
