Ok, so I finally got the driver's door opened but I can't get the *&^% door panel off. I have the 4 screws out of the bottom of the door, as well as all of the plastic clips, but there is still something holding it on. I took the passenger door apart to see how to open this door and it helped a lot. On the passenger door in the handle there is that little plastic cap that covers a screw, that is the screw that is keeping me from getting the door panel off. I am assuming that the screw is under the electrical window controls. How do I get that off? I have pryed on it from every direction and I am afraid I am going to break it. If someone can tell me exactly where or how to pry on it, so I don't break it, that would be great. Thanks so much for all your help. I love this forum.

The control cluster is held in by spring steel pawls. Use a re-shaped plastic putty knife for a prybar. The screws you're looking for are under a plastic cap in the finger grip area, above the gas cap button, and under the mirror control.

Are all J30's the same? There is no plastic cap in the finger grip. Does the control cluster have to come off first? Where do I pry exactly, top, bottom, inside? "Re-shaped plastic putty knife" Please explain the re-shaped? Sorry, I'm stupid, a real moron sometimes. I hate my car. My husband hates it too, he won't touch it. So I have to do all the work on it myself. It took me 3 days to get the door opened. Anyone wanna buy a 94 J30? only has 60,000 miles. lol just kidding, sortof!
