I'm sure you could remove them, but I doubt you could reuse them afterwards.

you should be able to at least get the back portion off and be able to get inside and open the door then remove it all together and fix the problem

I don't think so. There are tab thingys that have to be popped out along the sides and bottom. There may also be a screw-type thing at the place on the panel where it contacts the dash (by the mirror).

The only way to removed them with the door close is the destroy it.

Fine. I wired in deadbolts using actuators and they're hooked up to my alarm. Apparently now when I disarm the alarm the actuators do not retract for some reason. So the deadbolts stay in place and I can't open the door.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! dude thats halarious. Maybe you switched a wire so when your alarm is disarmed its locked and when its armed its unlocked, did you try that?

Anyway like said above you cant really take it out without destorying it but you could pry enough back (backside of the car) to probably reach your hand in there and do what you gotta do to open it. Good luck.

hey im from NE and i can read just fine

try taking off the speaker cover... put your hands down in that speaker area and pop the bottom part of the panel off, they're just tabs. work your way over as far as you can... see if you can pry it open from there. the whole bottom portion of the panels should pop off.

But there is always this screw^^^^^. and you'll still need to lift it upward
