Door panel removal

[NissNEZ08]

Does anyone know how or has anyone removed the door panel? Is it just a snap on and snap off or are there screws involved? Thanks

1. the light at the bottom of the door snaps out, disconnect the light2. with a flat head screwdriver lift up the bottom end of the window control panel, under that there is a screw3. the silver plastic strip pops out, be very gentle it'll bust easy. under the strip there is a screw4. now the door panel should just pull off

have fun

I'll offer what help I can...

To pop off the silver pieces on the door, I used a small flat head screw driver to pry the bottom away from the door panel. Once you can get your fingers behind it, carefully pull it away; there are four or five clips that hold it in place. Once you are done with it, just snap it back in place. I'll see if I can do a mini write up on it, lol...EDIT: OK, here we go...

First: Take your small screw driver to the bottom of the piece.



Then pry it away from the door panel. This will separate a small clip right were I have the screw driver.



Now grab the end of the piece with your finger tips and pull it away some more. Then continue moving up the piece, pulling out the clips. It will take some force to pull them out.

It's off!





To put it back on, snap in the topmost clip, then work your way down.





Done! Hope that helps.

I know of another screw... The plastic trim piece behind the door handle pops off to reveal another screw. Don't have pictures of that though, lol.

Isnt there a bolt behind the door handle. The plastic piece pops out but I cannot remember if there was a bolt there or not.

Yeah, there is a screw in the big hold toward the bottom of the door handle (behind the silver trim piece).
