I can't get the passenger door panel off. i took the 2 screws off the front, the one off the back the door, the in the middle of the door behind the grommet, the one by the door handle(inner handle)





The manual shows one by the power window toggle switch, but i can't find it. Do you have to take the toggle switch out first? if so how to you pry it out without messing up plastic?



Oh, btw, yeah i crashed my car and need to it apart to reduce body shop costs.

Yes there is one more behind the window switch. Pop the switch out with a small flat head or something of the nature. Be carefull and try not to gouge the plastic. Youll see it in there, its kinda off to the side of the switch hole so be carefull you dont strip the head.

Thanks, you know the manual is not the clear and didn't break the switch if it was attached by a clip on the inside.

Razorx,

It holds a crappy plastic eye that plays a big role in holding that grab-handle. When you get ready to put it back on, use a flat washer and make sure it's tight. From personal experience, if it gets loose, the handle goes pretty quick.
