Default Me

1) Remove screws at front and rear top corners
2) Remove screws from the piece that covers the hole where you grab the door.
3) Pull that cover piece down and out of the hole.
4) Remove the 2 remaining screws in the uncovered hole.
5) Pull straight up on panel, sliding it up and then out.
6) Balance the panel on your foot while you unplug all the wires and unhood the cable for the door relase.

Default alrighty this should do it...

haven't done it in a few months but this should either do it or get you 95% there

open door
lower left portion of door...one screw to remove (on the part you can't see when you close the door)
in door handle, pop/slide down the screw cover
two screws behind there to remove
pull up on entire door interior panel, it will pop up and off
disconnect latch cable from interior swing handle
note all the colors/locations of the clips connected for windows/mirror adjustment and then pop those off

that should do it

Default Um, no...I just copied the directions as I was given them. That part has me a little stumped too.

I was hoping you could figure it out if you saw the door. I don't have one handy right now. Maybe Prodigy can help?
