HELP!!!!!!
I am attempting to remove the rear door panels on my '97 Mercury Mountaineer to upgrade stereo system. I have removed the two screw immediately above the door handle and have remove the arm rest and the small molded piece that surround the door handle but the door panel still seems firmly fastened. Where do I go from here. HELP, you timely input is greatly appreciated or if you know of a web site that would be helpful I would use that as well. I am at a loss at this point. Thank you.

door panel removal

You still need to pop the panel off of the little white clips on the inside of the door, you can try to do it by hand of with a screwdriver, but run the risk of destroying the clips, you can get a door popper tool at your local automotive store and it will save the clips and a big headache on your part! Next time search the forums before you ask chances are nthe question has already been answered at one time or another by one of the more knowledgeable guys on the board, a few days ago somebody posted a great PDF that explains how to remove the door panels on an X.
