There is one bolt under the triangular plastic cover behind the door handle. The cover just pops out it you can get something thing in the crack. Be careful not the mar the plastic. There are two more bolts under a plastic cover right beneath the arm rest. Once those 3 bolts are out, a swift pull is all thats needed to get the panel off. Keep track of the clips that go all around the door. Diconnect the door lock and handle wires and the electric window plug and waaala, you're done.

Which way do I pull? Up and out towards me or just straight out towards me if I am standing next to it?

Hey guys here is the pics that you all asked for!

I was taking apart my door and I decide take some pictures for you all to know what to expect when even you need to do it yourselves.

See you all later

what ever you do dont just pull it off with a big yank

I removed all of the bolts 4 total -

then i removed all of the door panel clips bottom left side right and up

only place I my self can not seem to get lose is the top right near where teh SRS air bag logo thing is and the door SRS air bag is located.

I am thinking that there most be something else to this step then just what is shown the 2012 roadster and up models ? - because the door panel that is in the pictures above do not look like my door panels.

even in the back if you look in back there is alot more going on then what is shown in the pictures above.

for life of me dose not seem to be any clips and it does not seem to want to leave go from the door.
if you give it a good yank you be sad because it will break all of the door panel controls - even if you disconnect the switch thing it self.
