I need to remove the rear interior door panels for upholstry and cannot figure out how the actual handles come off. I have every single clip and fastener off and the entire panel now appears to be only held on by the door handle. How do you remove this?

Ps...I will post pics of the panel for others in case they want to remove theirs. Also, it looks like there is room for a decent size speaker as well.

Thanks,

I had a body shop wondering the same thing when they were trying to paintless dent remove. I don't know what they came up with. I'm interested as well

Many thanks to Maniac who helped with this rather simple issue......there is a grip cover on the handle...STOP laughing..it is not very obvious, nor does it remove very easily. By the way, I found the easiest way to remove was to start at the bottom of the grip handle and work it outward and up.

ps....there is plenty of room for another set of 5" speakers in the rear doors....they fit without modification....but you will need to drill a couple mounting holes and use a baffle to self-seal the speakers.
