Power Door Actuator

[delucaj]

I have a 99 Suburban and the power door lock for the front passenger door does not work properly. (It moves very slightly). I assume the actuator needs replacement. I need help with removing the interior door panel. Does anyone know how to properly remove it?

Thanks

I just replaced front lock actuator on 99 it was sticking before and now it works great. Start by removing 2 screws in armrest then remove plastic piece around door handle with screwdriver then take screwdriver and pry up door switch assembly.
finally door panel is held on by plastic holders take screwdriver again and start on bottom edge of door and pry off (the holders are pretty long) once you remove door panel you find actuator in the rear part of door closer to latch (on the front door anyway) Actuator is riveted on drill out rivets and lift actuator off lock arm put rivets back in and put door back together.. good luck!
