behind the interior handle there is a little circle cap. remove that with a thin blade screwdriver. then take a phillips head screwdriver and remove the screw behind the circle cap. once screw is removed, push the door handle section forward towards the fron of the car and it will slide then pull out and you will see the rod going to the handle. where the rod meets the handle there is a little connector that you have to unclip off the rod, then pull the rod out or up to remove the handle. then under the armrest part you will see a hole insert a phillips head screwdriver and remove that screw.

then you put your fingers in between the panel and the door and pull out. don't be afraid the clips will pop loose before you braak the panel. once its all looses. lift up to free it from the door lock. then diconnect the connector for the window and your done.

sorry for my spelling and lack of punctuation but im typing all this on my phone while on the shitter.

yes im multitasking lol.
