door panels and door locks
I locked my keys inside my 200 F150 and used a slimjim to get it open now i can't unlock the drivers side door with the key. Tried to get the door panel off and almost broke it. Does anybody have the skinny about how to take the door panel off? Special tools? Window crank?

figured it out
Well I figured it out on my own. Here are the procedures:
First, pull the window post panel by hand. It is attached with press fasteners.
Next, remove the philips screw at the top of the panel that was hidden by the window post panel.
Next, remove the panel around the door opener handle & remove the philips screw hidden there.
The next step requires a torx bit to remove the window crank. It has a cover over the crank and a flat blade screw driver can be used to pop it loose and swung away to get at the screw it the shaft area of the crank.
Next, lift up then out on the panel.
The instalation is the reverse of removal.
