My 1998 f150 driver door needs to be replaced. I got the door panel off but cannot figure out how to remove the motor. There are no bolts that I can see, holding the motor in. Just 4 rivets on the outside of the metal panel. Can you help me?

 

If you look, on the sheet metal in front of the motor, you should be able to see one gold bolt just inside a hole, then there are two dented spots (pin sized) in the area of this first described bolt. Drill holes at these two points (when I did mine, I used a 1/2" bit) and this will expose the other 2 bolts. Unplug the motor, pull these 3 bolts, and pull motor out where the speaker is mounted on the door. easiest way to do in my opinion.

Hope this helps.
