I am looking to replace the bulb in my driver's side window switch. Does anyone know if I can get away with just taking off the armrest, or will i still have to take apart the whole door?

 

The armrest is attached to the door with screws that can only be removed by removing the door panel.

 

That's what I was afraid of. Just wanted to make sure though.

What is the most difficult step in taking door apart? It looks like I need to take apart the latch handle and the rod that attaches to it (by removing the hidden screw), and from what I can see there is only one other screw that is seen, that is the one the secures the armrest. Is there anything else I should look for before pulling away? What about the plastic piece that covers the bolts for the sideview mirror? Thanks.

 

its really simple....im pretty sure the step by step is in the faq's...good luck

 

Carefully remove the cover over the side mirror bracket. It's very easy to break the tabs off of it.

Remove the bolt inside the bottom of the arm rest and the one in the door handle. Disconnect the white plastic clip that hold the rod. Pop off the door panel, start on the left side and pull it gently away from the door. It will pop right off. Be careful once you get it loose as there are a bunch of wires connected to door. You may be able to unscrew the arm rest without disconnecting them.
