550 Door Panel Removal--Help
I'm trying to remove my drivers door panel to reseat/repair/replace my driver side window switch.
I've remove the 3 torx from the end chrome cover plate - 1 torx from behind SRS button - 1 torx from behind armrest button - and popped the retainers at the bottom of the tweeter.
I think there is at least one more fastener somewhere toward the front of the door.
What am I missing in order to remove the panel and attempt to fix my window button?????????

Was able to position the switch such that I can operate the window, being careful with it. I will pick up a replacement at the dealership in a day or two and replace it myself if I can get the door panel off....... help still needed.
Otherwise I'll probably pay another $200 to have the dealership install it when I pick up the part.

As Rodney said, it's a bit weird because you think it's all disconnected but it won't pull straight out. It's a big blocky plastic "hook" almost half way down the door. You have to pull up and out. If you lay on the floor and pull the bottom out you can see the bottom of the hook.

Thanks guys. Plan to pick up the part and replace it myself early next week.
I can tell when trying to get a little bit of movement in the panel, in hopes of getting a sense of what was holding it still, that some really close tolerances had to be followed to get the thing to fit as tightly and accurately as it does...
Will let you know how it goes..
