i have taken all my door panels off and have some pictures i will try an post tomorrow:

Jest of it:

After removing the screw behnd the door open lever and the the bolt under the window control arm rest grab the lower right of the panel and give it a quick stiff pull outward.

Once you hear the 1st pop its easy after that.

I actually purchased the upholstery tool (
($6.50 from amazon:
Amazon Amazon
)


The clips may pop off the door, grab them and reuse if possible. They are $7 earch from the dealership.

Reinstalling the door: have the window all the way down.
Drape the door kinda like putting hooks down into the window slot and put the top screw in 1st.
Then press the clips in going around the door.
Then add the bolt.

Dont forget to fish the window control wire out and snap in the lock/door cables.

Got the door panel off already and took part the side mirror and the lock for the spring popped off that's why the side mirror was flapping so since I don't have a spring compressor to compress the spring and put on the lock I just took my c-clamp and a 16 mm long socket and just compressed the lock and the spring and it worked fixed my own side mirror stealers hip told me to wait until November 13 because they didn't have any opening so did it myself
