Default Is there a FAQ for door panel removal?

I'm replacing the switch surrounds on my 99.5 driver's door panel. What are the steps to taking the door panel off? Thanks!!!

Default Not aware of a FAQ, but it's really easy.

Look for a screw or two behind the inside door handle, one by the side view mirror and maybe one or two others along the leading edge of the door. It's pretty apparent and you should be able to figure it out easily just by looking. Be careful of a speaker wire that may be attached.

Default hmm, that's odd. i thought i was going crazy

There are a lot of FAQs that I know were there before but can't find now. I guess they really are deleting some...I must still be sane.

I love that 1 touch up rear window mod though. I did that when the FAQ first came out.
