Default Help: door panel removal help needed

Does anyone have detailed pics of how to remove drivers side door panel? Everytime I try to pry off it sounds like it it cracking, I am using the same fork to get them off as I did with the hood blanket.

I don't have pics or know all the details, but I have watched my brother remove door panels many times. There are several screws that hold the panel in place near the door latch if I recall. In addition, there are a number of plastic pins holding the door in place. You also need to pull out the electronic control module before you remove panel so you don't tear any wires.

My brother is on here frequently and you can pm him if you like. He goes by AJG1915.

Hope that is of some help.

Sounds like the mirror repair person/shop is responsible. Point it out to them. Especially if it was working before they tore into it.
