how do you take the rear door panel off?
i have been on a fixing rampage lately, ripped my back seats out the other day to try and fix my trunk light... still havent yet, gonna get a new switch this weekend, and i wanna fix my rear door panal cause it was bent somehow when i guess the regulators were replaced or something... just wanna konw whats the best way, what is a clip and all thanks.
1. look at the top of the pull-handle.. you'll see a small circle.. pry that out with a screwdriver, and remove the screw.
2. pull out the ashtray, remove the screw under that.
3. look inside the "cup" for the door release lever.. you'll see a small slot just big enough to stick a screwdriver. do just that, and pry it out. you'll see two more screws. remove those.
4. now pull the pull-handle out of the hole. you'll see one last screw. remove it.
5. pry up the switch plate and disconnect the wires attached to it.
6. feel around on the bottom of the door panel and find a good spot to pull it off. there should be some slots just large enough tog et your fingers under. pull the bottom of the door panel straight out, until all the clips have come loose. it will now be hanging from the top.
7. hold the bottom of the panel out and reach in and unhook the wires to the entry light.
8. while holding the bottom of the panel out just enough to clear the metal parts on the door, lift the whole thing straight up and it should slide out of the groove at the top.
that's it.
it's not as hard as it sounds. takes me 2-3 minutes tops to do mine.

Okay there is a little panel under the door remove
it and take the screw out. Then lift up CAREFULLY on
the panel that the window switch is on and disconect
it. Then pry once again CAREFULLY on the bottom of the
door panel and the clips should disenguage and once they
come out of the door disconnect the light. Then lift up
on the panel and it should come right off.
