Remove the trim panel above arm rest by gently prying off. Remove all door panel retainig screws & clips, some hidden by small access covers. Unscrew the lock botton from the shaft. The door panel is removed by gently prying the edge away from the door. Use broad flat tool inserted between the panel and the metal door, like a painters 5 in 1 tool. This prevents clip damage. Make sure all screws, fasteners & clips are removed, remove the door panel by lifting up at the top window edge. Disconnect all wiring to courtesy light, speakers etc. Do not damage the moisture barrier on the inside of the door panel area, this must be put back, taped if required with waterproof tape.
