You need to locate and remove the screw below the armrest.Next you will need to remove the cap in the door handle,beneath this you will see a screw,remove this as well.Now take the door handle assembly and push it forward and then pull the rear out followed by the front.The handle will NOT come all the way out!you must now look behind the handle and release the clip that holds the handle to the rod that releases the door latch.Now unplug the electrical connectors on the back of the handle and remove the door handle.Now starting at the bottom of the door pop the door panel off the door structure.This will take some force as the clips are tight.Once you have released all the clips gently lift the door panel upwards and away from the door itself.Now look inside the door panel and unplug all the various plugs and you are there.Assembly is the reverse.Jens

Jens, is it true that you cannot take off the fake wood panel off the doors?

 

Yea, can we take the wood panels off the doors?? I read this post on the TL forum and it mentioned they had to melt off plastic bults that are permanently on. Is this the same for us??

I'll archive this when all questions have been answered.

 

Plastic trim on the doors don't come off. So if you were to pain these, you'd have to just cover up everything else. I'll post pics of this as soon as I get the film developed. Can't wait for my digital cam. Still working on the back panels...

Take it away, soopa!
