2001 drivers door panel removal

Searched the other day for this info, but found years other than '01, and the panel did not come off as was described in those threads.
I found that there are four screws which are not hidden - remove them.
Pull windows/locks switches panel straight up and remove connectors. Do not remove arm rest "panel" at top - you will break the securing tabs - (yes, I had to buy some epoxy)
You can easily remove the surround from the inside door release handle.
The panel, after these other things are removed, pulls straight out, overcoming the plastic push-in retainers. I started at the bottom, working up, and finally lifted it free at the top.
NAPA has almost exact match replacement push-in retainers.
Reason for removal: Door lock solenoid anchor rivet broken, allowing the solenoid to move up and down rather than locking/unlocking door - also makes for very loose movement of the other lock parts.
Trying to replace rivet with a 1/4-20 nut and bolt - looks like there's enough room, but fun to hold things in place for repair.
Anyway, hope this helps somebody.
