I am about to retro fit an after market head unit,and have to by pass the factory amp to do so.Are there any tricks to avoid breaking my door cards??thanks

do the wiring at the amp end in the left side of the boot , unplug the amp and figure out which wires come from the deck and which go to each speaker , also remember to use crossovers etc so you dont blow up the mids and tweeters etc .

It's a pretty fiddly job, don't forget the small screw located in the vent up by the tweeter. pry clips carefully from the bottom, and then lift the skin up, there are more clips that should come loose at the top of the skin by the chrome strip as u lift up. The skins are quite strong tho, u would have to be using alot of force to break one. The clips can break easily tho.
