Default How do door panals come apart? EDIT- PICS INSIDE of new panals

I have 2 days off so Im working on my INT some, and tonight I tried to tape off my door panals to repaint them and it didn't work out too good, to many complex corners and tight squeezs. I have the products that work good for this stuff, but I need to take the door panals apart, meaning I need to take the door grab off, and the vinal seperated, and the other stuff all seperate, how do you do that?

Remove center screw behind door handle
slide off bezel around door handle
There should only be 3 more screws that hold in the pull:
1 on the front of the pull and 2 on the bottom
Then pop up on the door pull and it will slide right off

I may try to do the passangerside one without taking it apart, it was a BITCH to get apart, and now I still have to attatch the door pull. The white paint is the same as the black paint on the door pull, duplicolor vinal/plasitc paint. They say you can use it on carpet and upholstory too, as well as seats. I may try and use it on my carpeting, see how it holds up, before I spend 200 bucks on new carpet.

You gotta go back and tighten up that vinyl, if thats what it is. There are alot of wrinkles. I'm sure you noticed that though,

yea I am going to avoid taking the door panal on the otherside apart at all costs. The panal doesn't fit back together the way it used to. I might actually replace this one and start over again. I need to start with the black, THEN the white, and that will allow me too not have to dissasemble it...

Here is the write-up I followed when I took apart my door panels:
http://www.lastofthebreed.com/Instal.../DoorPanel.htm
I deviated a bit though. I used 2-part LockTite plastic epoxy to re-attach the panel instead of melting/screwing anything. Just mix it up and put a blob over each cut plastic peg/mount (and keep some pressure on the panels until the epoxy hardens).

Luna gave me that link and I followed it to a T, I used hot glue to hold the panal back together, and I think I should have used something a bit better... Passangerside ( next day off lol ) is gonna get done while still together if at ALL possible. I tried it on the drivesride, but I had rushed through the masking to try and get it done before dark, and that screwd me up. I think I should do the black, then once that has hardend for atleast a hour, go back out and do the black vinal ( soft door pull ) then let that dry for a hour, then tape it all off really good with some blue tape ( got it already ) and then go to town on the white.

I also am going to repaint that white triangle peice infront of the mirror black. The white was a really ricy idea up there.
