Does anybody know how to open the door panel on 2007 TL-Type S? Thanks

Yes. Welcome! where you open the door on the inside (door latch) there is a little plastic cover. Take that off, and then there're 2 phillips screws you take off. Under the "door handle" there is a screw that is deep-seated, you'll need a long/skinny extension to reach it. After all 3 screws have been removed, you go to the door bump stop, located at the rear of the door on the inside, where a screw with a rubber is. Unscrew there. After that, you can start at the top of the door, and kind of lift "up" and "out" at the same time on the door panel. Do the same all the way around the door, and you'll be able to get it off.

Just a hint: Go to the 3rd Gen TL Audio section, and there are many write-ups of this process with pics!
