removing front door panel

[_turtle_]

hey guys, just wondering how i remove the trimming for the drivers side door. i've removed 4 screws so far, and it still won't budge, i suspect theres a screw in where the door handle is, but i can't take the plastic surrounding off it. any ideas?

thanks

ok there are 3 screws on the bottom of the door trimming...

one more once you have pull out the plastic coverings that contains the mirror switches...

and door handle cover need to be removed... I think there is one screw there too.

once you take off the plastic cover off from arm rest then it sould be it, just matter of using gentle but firm grip and take them off...

take off from bottom and lift Ifind that's the easiest way, and put it back on clip the top then bottom

I hope this helps ya

if this is 1st time you might have problems, just carefull you not breake any plastic while you doing this.

cheers

thanks joe. already got it done. was a bit worried coz i didn't want to break any of the plastic, especially the part where it surrounds the controls for the windows etc. but in the end i got a bit fustrated and used more force and it came out. there is one screw behind the door handle cover, that cover was a biatch to remove until i realised what was holding it in.

i was a bit surprised when i saw that i had some pretty decent looking Carrozeria pioneer speakers in there. weird, i think they were 6", in the back i have the same brand in 6 x 9's. and my sound is very avg. i have a vdo head unit in. dunno why it sounds so bad.

but why you had to take them off?

it would've helped, but i already took it off and then came in and read it hehe. i wanted to remove it because i was hearing this rattling noise coming from it. it also comes from the passenger side door as well. its really been annoying for ages but i just haven't done anything about until now.

it only started rattling after the alarm guy installed my alarm, so i figured the panels were a bit loose after he put em back on. i also have a clunking noise coming from the rear left which i can't work what it is. sounds like the jack is moving around but its not

could be the connecting adapter for window control etc..etc.

or maybe broken glass... if previously bronken into...?

:confused: :confused:
