Default How do you remove the passenger side door panel?

the interior door handle is loose..I figure there must be some way to tighten it up from the inside. Searched the archives...nothing. TIA for the info.

Default Well, Chaotic is an expert at this

since we swapped his door panels for mine the other night.

If I recall, there are 5 screws total on the front doors, 4 on the rear doors.

You can get to 3 easily from the outer edge of the door....just a standard philips screw driver.

The others are under the plastic interior liner of the handle. Pry this piece off with your hands, pulling downward. Once removed you'll see 2 additional screws (1 if you're working on the rear door). Unscrew these, then grab the door handle and pull up...the whole panel will come right off.

and remember not to bust off your door lock and put it back when the door goes back in
