DOOR PANEL REMOVAL

To remove the door panel , unscrew the lock button, remove the screws in the armrest and remove the interior door handle trim by prying it backwards. If its a front door, remove the mirror switch or the blank plate, depending on which side you are doing. These items will pop out if you gently pry on them with a small screwdriver. Behind them is a screw securing the top of the pull handle. There are two more screws along the lower edge of the arm rest.
Gently insert a screwdriver between the door and panel and pry out the clips around the edge. When the bottom and both sides are free, lift the panel straight up and it will come off.
No matter what you have the panel off for, make sure the drains in the bottom of the door are clear.
When reinstalling a panel make sure the plastic cover is on the door. This plastic prevents noise, wind, dust and moisture from entering through your door. Rain water enters the door and is supposed to drain out the bottom, if this plastic is missing or torn, the door panel can be damaged by the moisture.
