That looks like one of those pop-off things. If you don't have one of those forked door panel remover tools, then see if you can get a flathead screwdriver under the plastic part and pry the plastic part from the metal door.

there is a "plug" that is below the arm rest on the passenger side. Remove that plug from the black(front) of the door panel and remove the screw that is deep in the back. It is a big phillups screw. Other wise you will break your door handle.

That is the bottom brace for the handle that always breaks. This is of course if it is the passenger side.

If this is the drivers side, then it is just a push pull type clamp for the door and just pry it off.

If I recall correctly, you must remove the switch that operates the window. Behind that, you will find a big screw that must be removed to take off the door panel.

I found that thread(s) on my search Mahjik but didn't see what I needed, it did show me the "hidden" screw behind the window switch however. It seems the door had been off before and had not been put back together right, so I had to force the white part off. I hate taking car interiors apart lol. Thanks for the help guys
