Do I need to remove the side panel or anything else to remove the lower panel. I have removed the 2 screws. Any tips would be appreciated.

 

theres 3 screws....

the third one is behind the door jam panel that has the vent in it. open the door, pull the molding down a little down and tug on the panel. youll see the screw on the side

 

thanks, so you are saying there is a screw behind the vented panel in the illustration in my original post? Any easy way to remove the vented panel, I believe it has 3 areas where it is attached.

 

 

well I released 2 spring clips and I think there is one more at the top. Just don't want to force it and break the vented panel. I can see the third screw. So once I remove the vented panel, I'm good to go.

thanks for your help.
