To remove the door panel, first pry off the inner door handle frame. Simply pull it to the rear and it will come off. Next, remove the mirror switch by prying it out of its holder. Now, unscrew the door lock push buttons at the rear of the doors. Remove the plugs in the armrest, and remove the screws underneath. Now remove the door panel by pulling the panel outward at the lower edge of the door. Slowly work your way around the perimeter of the door panel until you have released all the clips holding the panel to the door. Now remove the door panel and check the bolts that hold the door handle to the door.
