'05 SS Brillant Silver
Unhappy Desperately begging

Can someone, anyone, Sunman, Steve, please give a quick how-to on the door panel removal for an '05. YES, I've search, and all that has turned up is removal for pre '05 which aren't exactly the same. Mostly the cutout on the door handle is not there and they change torx screw sizes.

The door appears to simply split down the middle, but I've forced as hard as I feel comfortable..to the point that it is either going to break or violently snap open.

Trying to install some moleskin on my windows so I don't have to retint every month. puh-lease anyone.
