Hey all, I have a 2001 GPGT 4dr, problem with the door panel is that it seems that the constant slamming (much to my annoyance) by my sister-in-law has broken the clips.
I first of all don't see how thats possible to just break the top few, but alas, she managed it.
Anyway, top half of the panel is able to be about 1.5" from where it should be, tried showing the white 'pin' piece back into its hole, didn't fix it, keeps popping out when the door gets shut (even softly)
Could someone explain (possible include pics) of how to remove the door panel so I can repair it?
Thanks in advance!

It looks like there is one screw behind the rear door pull handle, and the rest is a series of those push fasteners around the outside of the panel. The upper part of the door pad hooks over the metal of the door to keep the weather seal tight to the glass.
