ok the interior door light can be unhooked but you need small fingers. Just reach under it and un hook it. Next after you pop all the rivets off you just pull up. Now it takes a little strength to get it around the handel, which you need to take off as well. Just the trim on that one. Just keep pulling and it'll come off. I did mine this weekend and it was ok. email if you need some more details

Be very careful not to bend the metal strip on the top or it will not go back on or it will pinch the window.

while you have the panels off you should undercoat the metal with marhyde rubber coating! dampens the doors alot and eliminates road noise and vibrations. 2 cans would be more than enough. ONCE YOU USE THIS STUFF YOU WILL WANT TO DAMPEN YOUR WHOLE CAR! IT IS AWESOME! $3.50 a can. good luck, email me if you want some.
