Door panels

[S1NN3R]

Just sitting at work here wondering if it is possible to remove the door panel without having the door open...the latch mechanism came apart in one of my doors and now the handle will not open the door...from inside or out....

yep...

That was how I did it to open the doors on my Sport when I bought it...I pulled the drivers seat out to clear the door panel but I didn't on the passenger side..It wasn't necessary..

Just drop the particular window all the way down and remove the 2 screws at the door handle and start to pry the door panel out from the bottom and raise the panel from the door at the top and it will open up the inside door so you can open the door by forcing the long rod backward...

At least that is how I did it...BTW if you had one door latch break the others are going go right behind the first one...

Those are plastic, and about $14 new online.
