Remove Panel Connectors
I put electrical tape on the Removal Tool to limit scraping on the door paint.

Thanks for posting those pics! I've been having trouble getting the front door panels - it was that one screw under the side panel.

On removing the panel to get to the third screw, does that panel pop off easily? Do you have to pry it off with a screw driver?

Use a flathead screwdriver from the bottom. There's a tab on the top part that will break if you try to pop it from the top. See image.

It looks like old posts get the picture links removed.
It's a board problem.
I am looking for these pics also..

No pictures, and I can only find two screws. There's one behond the door latch, and another behind the handle on the right. There's another place where there is somethinglike a screw above the handle, but I don;t think it is. I don;t see anything that looks like a side panel either. What am I missing?

when removing door
When removing the door, don't forget to disconnect:

* window controls
* lock controls
* red LED connector (above the door controls)
* remove the door courtesy light
