Default Remove door Panel?

Before I break something! C6 Coupe. Driver's side door panel. Does it just pop off or is there a trick involved. I have a rattle in there. Took it to the dealer and all they did was get grease all over the interior and I still have the rattle.
Thanks for the assistance.

Pop out the carbon fiberish panel with the "open" button on the door handle using a taped up flathead screwdriver. You'll need to use a torx bit to remove the screw inside (I forgot which size.) Next look underneath the handle and there should be an opening where you can insert your torx screwdriver and remove the screw within. Next look at the very bottom of the door panel and you will see a thin opening. Insert your fingers there and start pulling the panel off. Make your way around the panel with your fingers, and if need be, some sort of prying tool (i used a taped up screwdriver.) Of course there are two connectors that have to be unclipped, but that's self-explanatory.

Glad someone posted the DIY for you. You have seen the C6 FAQ sticky in the C6 Gen area, right?

Thanks Gundam. I never would have figured that one out by trial and error! Also, Jim, I tried the faq section. I get the links to foum threads but when I try to go further, I get "fatal error". Any ideas?

If you're referring to the pics that a member had up of the door trim removal, I think the site was taken down.

Yeah, I went there because JimTN posted indicating I should have looked there. The pics are gone and no instructions are there. I'm confused JimTN!
