Does anybody have instructions on how to remove the door panels? I'm gonna be replacing my speakers here in a couple days and need to know how to get those off - preferably without breaking stuff.

- Pop the arm upper arm rest portion (black leather) off (lift up).
- Remove screw covered by upper arm rest
- Remove black covering cap in hole behind inner door handle (use cloth covered thin flat head screwdriver)
- Remove screw behind cover
- grab lower portion of door panel and pull towards you...many snaps should pop
- lift pannel up to remove from window groove
Things to watch:
All doors
- disconnect and remove the door lights. Then reconnect after door panel has been replaced.
- only 1 screw holds the door handle mechinism in place. Unscrew it and wiggle handle out through the door handle hole.
Driver's side door
- panel with window buttons is a bitch to fight with. Get somebody to help and try to remove the button panel from the door panel...do not try to remove the cable switch (I had a hell of a time and decided to leave it)
I think this is good enough to get you going...I'm sure I may have forgotten something, but if I did, it will be self explanitory once you compare my notes to your door.

my passenger side window switch can roll the window up but not down, but i can control it fine from the driver's side controls. i'm suspecting a loose wiring at the switch. is there a way to pop out the window switch without removing the door panel?

you're right, and it's already fixed. just a loose connector i guess as i unplugged it and plugged it back in and it's working again.
