#312068 Tools I used...Phillips Screwdriver, long nosed pliers, and MAN strength!

Door panel...not the prettiest thing in the world.
Image

Handle screw inside
Image

Screw behind door handle...must pull handle to see
Image

Clip that lock window roll down handle in place
Image

Remove screw like so...lefty loosy not righty tighty
Image

What it looks like removed. Damn! I got a hole in my door panel!!!
Image

Remove door handle screw while holding handle in the open position. Yeah you see that single finger hold that door handle open like a PIMP!
Image

When pulling the trim piece out you have to manuever it around the door handle. Finesse applies here so if you don't got it...then IDK
Image

Trim piece removed. Damn! Another hole!
Image

Plug only visible when door is open. I'm glad I don't see that when my door is closed.
Image

Remove plug with whatever you can use...I used a screwdriver and pliers. Watch out don't damage your door panel! Looks like someone shot my panel :(
Image

Push out the clip the hold the window handle in place. Sometimes you got to talk to it "have you ever got your S^&* pushed in".

What it looks like when pulled off. Yeah...you just got your S^&* pushed in!

Window handle removed. Looks like the input shaft for my transmission.
Image

Now pull on the lower parts of the door panel...you will hear it pop out, don't be a wuss pull on it like a MAN! There are many clips. Yup I pulled it with only the tips of my two fingers

Push up from the bottom of the door panel and pull towards you. If you are having trouble with the mirror trim piece you can remove it by pulling from the top and it will pop out. See that no hands!
Image

Door panel removed...now talk sweet to her
Image

Thanks for Looking! Took me less than 10 mins to complete

#325934 another way to remove the window handle clip is to use a long nose needle piler. Works wonder as there is only one location to pull the pin.
