So I did some searching, and these are the best door panel removal instructions I could find, I just wanted to run them by you and see if you agreed, and ask if you had any tips or tricks to add:

Door Panel Removal:

1. Remove the small piece of wood trim above your seat controls.

2. Remove the phillips head screw behind that piece and pull off that
metal piece it was holding that is hooked at the end by the door lock
switch.

3. Pull out the door lock switch

4. Pop out the seat switch piece of wood and disconnect the harness

5. Open your map pocket. You will see a small piece of plastic toward
the front with a small screw, remove that and the piece of plastic.

6. Remove the screw recessed deeply in the hole in the rear section of
same map pocket

7. Remove 3 screws holding the chrome plate on the rear top of the door

8. Pop out the door light and disconnect it (2 wire black plug)

9. Take a 10mm socket and remove the bolt from behind that first piece of wood you removed.

10. Get a BIG phillips head screwdriver and remove the large screw behind the little piece of plastic that was in the map pocket

11. Remove the triangular piece of trim parallel to the side rear view
mirror (pop the top section and pull up)

12. Pop the snap connectors along the bottom edge of the door panel.

13. Reach under and disconnect the yellow vacuum line for the door map pocket lock

14. Lift the entire door panel up to remove.

Thanks in advance,

George
