door panel removal (coupe)
#1
#2
3 10mm screws. one in the door handle to open the door, hidden behind a little 3/4 inch square cover that you pop off with a small flat blade screw driver.
the other two are behind a panel on the handle you use to close the door - pop that off with a flat blade as well. look towards the bottom you will see a little recessed opening just for this purpose.
roll the window all the way down. start at the bottom and pull out. there are quite a few pressure clips holding the panel to the door. once they are all free you can lift the panel up out of the groove at the top.
the panel will be held on by door lock cables and electrical connectors. have your flat blade screw driver ready to release the connectors. you can release them one handed while holding the door panel with the other.
insert the screwdriver just behind the release clip, press down and twist to nudge the connector apart. they come apart easy once the clip is fully released. if you have to force the connector, the release clip is still holding on.
