Smile Re: How To: Remove Door Panel

Do I need to remove anything else to get the door panel off? I don't want to tug too hard and break anything.

Thanks in advance for any help!
My memory is a little scarce on this, but I think there may be two screws holding the arm rest to the door and one in the general area of the door handle mechanism.

You may need to pull out on the panel to clear the door handle mechanism while you lift the panel up. The top of the panel sits in a channel at the top of the door. Might also be easier to remove with the window down.
