~ I claim no responsibility for any damage to your door panel or its components, wires or attachments. This is what worked for me ~

The tool I used to pry up the control panel for drivers door.





Pry this panel up and it will pull out. Remove wires that are attached on the back side.





Remove these two Torx 27 screws.





Remove these Torx 15 screws (two at the bottom and one at the top right corner).




Use the 35400 Door Upholstery Remover Tool to go up the back side and bottom of the door panel. Simply place it underneath and pry outward slightly.

Remove the wire connectors from their attachment points. Please note: the "pink" secure clip slides up and over its secure point.



Disconnect the door latch cable by the front "large portion"... and pull up and out to disconnect it.






Backside of the door panel (attachment points). This visual will identify the areas where you will be prying up and outward to remove the panel from the door.

<<< Front






Door with panel removed (attachment points).






Hardest part is putting the panel back in place.

Start with the top first by laying the top in to place. If you have doubt as to how the top will go in place... go to the passenger door an take a look at it.
Once the top is in place snap the entire panel in to place. Secure all Torx screws and do the "TOP RIGHT Torx 15 screw last!"




Connect the wires to their connectors in the window/door control panel back snap it back into place in the door arm rest. You should be good-to-go!

looking for the part number for the t20 screw that attaches to the bottom of the door.

From these photos of the bare metal door, it is the bottom 2 circle things.
I'm looking for the parts for that so t20 screws can go in.
