Anyone have a DIY for removing rear door panels in an 05-06 sedan?
I've only found one for coupe front door panels. I'd like to see the process before diving in.
When i got my windows tinted, i guess the tinter didn't hook up the door handle correctly (or broke it) so i need to pull the panel off and see what I need to do.
I'd take it back to the tinter, but that was 10 months ago. That's how long it's been since someone's been in the backseat of my car and had to use the interior handle.

This process worked for my '03.5 sedan. It should be the same for your '06x:
1) Remove Philips screw behind the interior door handle.
2) Carefully pry out the door handle trim piece (might be silver on your car). Best to use a small flathead with the end taped up to pry out.
3) Once the piece is out, there should be 2-3 Philips screws holding the door panel to the door. Remove all the screws.
4) Grasp the door panel around the perimeter and pull it out. The panel is held by at least 10 clips all around. Just work your way from one side and go clockwise or counterclockwise all around until the entire door panel comes loose. Done.
