Well first, remove all fasteners. There are some behind the door handle which will allow you to remove the inside handle and detach the latch cable. There are also fasteners at the bottom of the door. It will also be necessary to remove the control plate from the armrest and unplug it. You will then need to remove the speaker cover, and remove the speakers. The speaker covers are tricky. You may need to get a trim stick to get them pryed out.
Once all this is done, lift the door panel up to release the door panel hooks. Once that's done lift the panel up and off the door a little so you can disconnect any stray wire connections, and you should have it.
Seriously though, I would advise getting a good set of trim tools. That keeps you from damaging any of your screw covers, and control switches. Makes it a lot easier too

Actually for me it's easier. The old style door panels had those Christmas tree looking clips that wore out and were murder to pull off. You never new how hard you were supposed to pull. Now, you can take your panel off 10x and it still fits back on tight. Just my 2cents.

Actually it was my first thread started and it did not go to interior so I thought i done something wrong. Was nothing to do with nobody posting. If you will look they are about a minute apart, I think I could wait longer than that. Thanks for all help , Boyd
