there is a removable clip in the middle of the padded area of the door, and then a couple of screws on the area by the rear of the area where the door jamb locks into the door. i think. then you need to take apart the base of the handle. the piece at the bottom pops out...then there is a screw in there. it has been a while since i did mine, but they are really not that hard.....

Before you take off the panel, take off the plastic covers (triangular pieces behind the door handle and behind the sideview mirror), they just pop right off.

i took out the screws around the door. i think they were 3 of them
then i took the screw that is by the handle and the screw that is covered by a button at near the bottom middle.
hehe i hope this makes sense.

the whole door panel is loose except the part where u put your hand around for the powered window.
that part is like stuck.

Help?

do a search on "remove AND door" , you should be able to find the answer from there. I just did it 2 days ago, it was pretty easy except you gotta be careful when you remove the panel after all the screws are out. Pull the bottom out first and then lift the top straight up.

As stated, you can search, but I'll help you out because it was a pain for me to find that last screw as well.

You need to take a screw driver and pop the window control unit out (it just snaps in). Then pull it all the way out until you can disconnect the wires.

Inside where the window control was, you'll see the last screw that you need to remove.

It's a pain the first time.

That's it. I totally forgot about that one.
