Anyone know how to do it (on a 1999 SE)? I wanna paint it again but i dont feel like being in the akward position, id rather just take it out and put it back. And I know its possible, otherwise best buy couldnt have installed my new speakers....but I dont feel like going to best buy and asking how they did it, so someone here want to help me out?

I belive they are like my year.......There should be some like snap n clips,i dunno what to call them,but they go along the edge of the door panel,i think theres like 5 all around.Slowly just pull away from the door starting at bottom somewhere,if you can't get a good grip try using a flathead screw driver and slip it behind the panel and easily pry,should hear like a pop sound,thats the things popping out,they spread out to hold the panel in place.

there are a few screws in various places
i think if you do a search you will find a how to and some pics of were the screws are.

one screw behind the red reflector in the door, one under the panel that has the window and lock switches, one just below the arm rest, and i think you have to remove the inside door handle thingy and get to a screw back there. Then she'll just pop off. I may not have gotten all the screws, so you might wanna search. :)

go here. http://www.sounddomain.com/memberpage/482117/7 thats a how to for my rear door but the front and rear come off the same.

if best buy already removed your panel then most of the clips are probably already broken off.

I remembered all of them? ALL RIGHT!!! I'm proud of myself. Now I need to replace my window regulator and put my door panel back ON.
