Im about to install the new stereo in my car and need help with taking the dorpanels off... How do i go about this the best way without braking anything? I found one screw under the panel that goes up along the window frame... But thats it... Is the rest mounted on clips?

Total of 2 screws, one behind the door handle cover and the other behind the plastic next to the window, then pull up on the door lock/window button plastic piece and and wedge it through the hole, then just lift up and off :thumbsup:

I have had my doors off probably 20+ times installing new speakers or just needing to clean them

This is correct, although I'd unplug the window/lock/mirror harnesses to avoid scratching that panel if putting it through that hole. 1999-2002 you will have a harness going to the light/reflector to unplug too. 2003-2004 just has a reflector, no light.

I did this a few months ago to see what was wrong with my passenger side power lock, I just kinda guessed and went from there. It's fairly straight foward and easy. I guess both driver and passenger sides are the same as far as removal and installation except for an extra control in the harness for the mirrors on the drivers.

I also pulled off the wiring harness.
