i think it is just the pins (trees), but up top you have to slide it off or something. I am pretty sure yours are the same as a 4th gen, but I Have not had mine off in about 3 years.

Most door panels are pretty much the same... Pop out the 'trees' and take off the door handles a trim peices that you can access with a screwdriver. When you get to the top piece, roll the window down (I find this helps) and push in and up with short easy jabs. I just went through the same process on my car this morning.... worked like a charm.

its the RS, where the lady T-boned me, so i bought a new door from the junkyard, cleaned it up had it painted black, and now i gotta swap over all the parts from the original door, trim, regulator, window glass, side view mirror, all that, so thats what im gettin into. i figured it was just the trees, but thought id check before i broke something.
