how to pull off door panels ?

[TimQ]

Did you get the screw in the arm rest? If you look down where you put your hand to pull the door closes, there's one or two screws there. One has to be removed to get the panel off.

And as lindstromjd said...there's also some clips along the top. For me, the inner window felt was attached to the door trim panel and the door. Required a putty knife or something to slide in there to pop them off.

Whatever you do...when you have it ready to come off, it doesn't take much force at all, so don't force it. If you have the armrest screw out, then you probably just need to finess the clips along the top with the window felt.
