Along the sides of the doors there are screws, unscrew those and maybe the ones where your doorlock is as well as changed holder (or whatever you call it). I'm pretty sure that's it.

Huh? There's 2 screws from what I remember...the rest are clips that *pop* off when pulling on the door panel. There's a little more to this than that but I'll show you (itr-j) on Friday.

I will be doing this to mine in 2 weeks since there is a REALLY annoying metal sound coming from the driver AND passenger side.

3 screw to take out. one under a tiny plastic flap under the door opener, lock area.

one in the grab handle(coin holder ).

the other is a plastic screw/fastener at the upper front of the panel.

from that point, it is a matter of pulling the panel from the metal door. it's held on by plastic inserts. start from the bottom edge of the door panel. just get a firm grip and firmly jerk the panel outward. the plastic inserts should pop out. work your way along the bottom. must be about 7-8 of those. once the panel is loose on the bottom, the top edge can be lifted upwards and back. careful of that triangle piece of the plastic on the backside of the mirror area.

undo the connectors on the back of the panel and it's off.

good luck. tricky part is getting the panel back on.

The first time i did it was hard to get the panels back on. I figured out how to do it now and it just glides right in.

angle the door panel on a really sharp angle (>50) and try to put the corner near the mirror back on first. find u'r spot by looking throught the hole where the door handle would be. once u ge tthe corner in the rest slisp right in.

the key is not to try to put the door on all at once.

thank you very much for this tip. I just put the panel back on using your method and it works!

I still don't think I can take the panel on and off without breaking a plastic clip.
