Or the linkage may need adjusting.
There are three linkages The main one going to the back of the door, the linkage from the inner handle to the mechanism at the front of the door and the one going from the outside handle to the mechanism. As far as I can tell only the last one has an adjustment. The linkage ends in a thread that fits into a clip (see photo). Just ease the thread out of the clip with a screwdriver and clip it back in in a different place so you take up the slack. This worked for me :-)
As to taking the door card off. There are three torx 20 screws, two along the bottom and one behind the ashtray. The window winder and inner handle trim just pull off, as does the slide-up-and-down locking knob which takes a good hard pull to get it off. Otherwise, just ping out the clips and lift upwards, though it doesn't just 'lift' as you have to fiddle it out from the trim at the front of the window which you don't have to take out. It might be easier if you did take it out but I could work out how to do that.
