How do I remove the door panel from the window?
You need to pull out on the bottom of the panel until the bottom is no longer connected, then push up to allow the door to pop off the upper clips and up off of the lock and out of the window slot.

The part you grab on the passenger side door has a ridge running down the middle.

You will need a T20 Torx bit to remove 3 screws at the bottom of the door panel, hidden under the edge as pictured. There is also one other sneaky screw on the inside edge of the door, near the top. You will need to open the door as far as possible, and still may have trouble getting an angle at the screw.
Step 3: Mind the Tricky Parts
Once the door panel is completely off and disconnected, do whatever you took the door panel off to do. (DUH)
Step 4: Reassembly
To put your door back together, first reconnect all of the electrical components. Then make sure the door latch hook is put back in the hole in the inside of the inner door latch. Raise the door panel over the locking mechanism such that it lines up with the hole. This is easiest to do while holding the lock steady from under the panel.
