Removing rear door panel
Need some instruction on easiest way to remove rear door panel. I know I have to remove the handle housing and know where the screw is. Have done this on other vehicles but want to make sure I dont mess the panel up or need any special tools.
Story behind this: Purchased vehicle used and seem to be in good shape. After rolling the rear right window up/down a few times noticed there was a filmy residue being smeared on window. Cleaned it off a couple of times and it kept coming back. After closer inspection I could see the remains of vomit on the seal, under the edge of the seat, and on the headliner near the top portion of the door.![Sick](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/sick.gif)
Looks like the only way to really clean this is to pull the door panel and try to clean it that way

You have to remove the two screws; one from sort of in/under the armrest and the other behind the circular plastic piece by your door handle. Pull forward on the plastic piece around the door handle and then you can slide it out some. You need to take off the metal bar that connects to the handle itself and unlocks. Then pry the door panel from the bottom and work your way up each side to undo the clips from the door. Once you get everything loose, you can pull up on the door to get it the rest of the way off. Then, you need to unplug the power window controls (which are a bitch to get to).
