Removing Door Panel Pics?

Does anyone have any pics or web site on how to properly remove a L. Door panel including the driver side's side mirror. They broke my driver side window and bent the side mirror. So if anyone has any sources please let me know!

No pics, but it's simple.

Remove the vertical trim piece over the panel. Pops right out.

Pop off the window control panel and remove the connector.

There is one screw hidden under the vertical piece that you just removed, and another under the door handle cover (which also pops right out).

Then just pull up on the panel, and remove the courtesy light from the panel.

The mirror is just attached with three 10mm nuts.

For the window, you're on your own. Beyond my pay grade.

Tim's way is fine, but no need to remove window control panel.
Step 1: Vertical plastic piece pull off and remove screw.
Step 2: Pop off black plastic piece around door handle. Remove screw.
Step 3: Lift off door panel and disconnect electrical connections.

No need to take off window control panel since the connector on the back side will enable you to seperate the panel from the door. Good luck.

McGill is right. I do it my way because it's hard enough to balance the panel while you remove the light bulb from the courtesy light. I find it much easier to remove the switch panel and remove the window, lock, and mirror connectors with the panel still on the truck.

Thanks but...

Well the thing is that they broke my side window so i wanted to try to clean as much posible of the remaining glass that is on my door. I could still hear some loose glass on the bottom of my door.
