Removing the Door Panels

from:Corrado-l

I'm trying to remove my door panels so I can try to isolate that annoying rattling. I can get the lock plunger off, the window switches off, the mirror switch off, but I can't remove the door opening latch nor the handle that you hold on to to close the door!! How do I get these two items off?!?! Do I also need to remove my door speakers? HELP HELP HELP!!!

OK, I'll list everything you need to remove.

  1. Screws on side (may have covers on them)
  2. screw(s?) underneath
  3. slide off speaker cover
  4. remove screw(s?)
  5. grab the door handle latch plastic outside edge thing and slide it (forward, I think). it then pulls out.
  6. The door handle comes apart. There is a plastic cover that you can pull off the rest of the handle. The seams are behind the line of vision. I just grab the sides really tight and pull while prying my fingers into the seam. Now two screws are exposed that hold the handle on.
  7. Remove the little black triangle near the side mirror carefully. It just snaps off, but will also just break off instead.
  8. Unscrew the lock plunger
  9. Pry the bottom edge out of the plastic clips. Be sure you know how it was so you'll know when you put it back together!

Good luck!
