Door panel won't come off. HELP!!!
 
I have all the screws out and it seems like it's loose on the front and back but acts like it's hanging in the middle. I have double checked everything!!! No luck getting it out. Anyone have any tips on what I might need to do to get this loose?

Try lifting it straight up. I had mine off awhile ago I forgot how it is held on. I think it is sitting on little tabs that connect into the door panel it self If I am not wrong.

I believe ther is a screw at the very back of the map pocket and one under the arm rest. Check those..

After you remove the screw holding in the backing plate behind the door lever and the plate itself, there is one more screw right behind it. It is the same size as the ones in the door handle and down by the speakers. After this, you should be able to pull up on the entire panel. It took a little effort getting mine out.

Thanks guys. I'll try again later on. I was getting afraid that I was gonna pull the damn door off the car. lol

01RedZ28, thanks for posting the link, I was already using it. I just got slowed down by this damn panel. :chug:

Like someone else said, lift up to remove it, don't try to pull it straight out. Lock lever, plate with window/lock switches are off, correct? And make sure you didn't miss a screw, I remember one being pretty well hidden.

If you take off the triangle (by the mirror) it helps too. One screw holds it in.
