Door Panel Removal:
For both front and back door panels , make sure you unscrew the two screws under the handle and one near side view mirror. Next you'll need to pop off the black trim piece surrounding the pull handle, you should see a place to stick a flat head screw driver and just pop it off. Now the tricky part, some people will say you need a special tool to do this but I never have needed it. There are about 8-9 little plastic trim clip that hold the plastic panel to the door. You'll need a flat head screw driver, slide it between the plastic and metal, I usually start at the bottom. Feel around till you find the first black clip and carefully pry the panel back. Do this for each clip. On the Driver side some models have a control module you need to remove this using its clip. Remove the light from the light housing (if so equipped). Remove Power window trim and/or buttons. Then Door panel is ready to be removed slide door panel up then away. To put the door back on, simply reverse this process. Once you do it once, its really simple.
