i haven't seen this discussed here just wondering whats the easiest way to take the door panel off? thanks

 

Take off the aluminum trim. There's a little slot on the bottom to stick a flathead screw driver in and just pop it out. There's two 10mm bolts in there, remove them. Then inside the shroud for the handle there's a square that pops out with a flat head. Remove the 10mm bolt that is now exposed. Then on the outer edges of the door panel, pull it away and the clips will pop out. Once you have all of them out, lift the door panel up off the window. Viola, your done.

thanks for the quick reply

 

Is this the same procedure for the rear doors aswell?

 

Is this the same for a coupe? Do you mean the aluminum trim that's on the door handle?

 

Yes this is the same procedure for the coupes and sedans. It is very straight forward, just dont yank it too hard when you're tryin to pull the panel away from the door. The aluminum door trim is what you have to remove to reveal the 2 10mm bolts sunken into the handle.
