Door Panel Removal Assistance Needed
I am trying to get my door panel apart and am having a little trouble - I have currently removed the SRS badge torx screw, the tweeter, door pull torx screw, the entry light, and all of the clips along the bottom edge and sides. The top edge is still firmly connected, and I can't tell how it's secured. I'm guessing that I need to remove the handle and some clips along the top edge, but I'm not too confident that I'm right. Below is a pic. Can anyone advise about the remaining steps to get the panel out?

Frisco,
haven't done this myself but I seem to remember seeing somewhere that ur supposed to start by the doorlock striker plate, remove a screw and then use a wedge to pop the panel off.
I think I saw this on the MBUSA training site, either that or on ebay where one seller had a demo section which showed this.
I'll have another look and post again if i find it.

Yeah I have that silver plate removed also. It felt like it was pretty firmly in place when I tried to pull the door panel up, as though it was being held in place with more of the clips. Any other ideas?

Thanks - I finally got it. I just hadn't gotten that large clip behind the door pull handle undone, and once I did that it came right off and I got the trim out. CF is finally a go!
