Depending on the age and condition of the door cards you may actually be more likely to rip the clips OUT of the card (damaging he door cards) than actually break them. I would buy the proper tool just in case.

Does anyone know how to remove the door cards from a MK5? From my research, it looks as if there are nine little white clips that hold them in. (can anyone confirm?) How do you remove these clips without breaking things?

Harbour freight has a cheap tool called panel clip pliers for around $10 that work well or any decent body supplier sells them. If you are careful you can use a scraper with a thin flat blade or anything similar, there are a few phillips head or pozidrive head screws holding the door pockets and window cranks on and the plastic trim piece around the door lock just pops of also.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

There's a special, but common, tool for it....slips in behind the panel and around the clip.....spreading the weight so it doesn't pop the clip out of the panel. Can't find a link to one
edit: I use one very similar to this....works very very well
