Procedure for removing door panel??

Does anybody have the procedure for removing the front door panels? I got it partially loose (some of it is obvious), but there is something holding the panel at the top that is not apparent. And I don't want to "guess" at how it comes off and break something in the process. Thanks.

Sounds like maybe there is the screw behind the door latch,which has the plastic around the edge,which pops out to reveal it.(Phillips head,or maybe a torx).If its out and all the other screws are out,you have to push up on the door panel to lift it off the door.

Remove the SRS cover(in the door panel) and release the screw behind it. That could easily be the problem if you forgot to get that one.

If you're sure all the screws are out - pull the panel UP firmly. Meaning get a good grip on the panel and pull straight up towards the sky.

Thanks for the video link, great question and posting. now I can do something about my door handle trim which is cracked. I was afraid to mess with it since the SRS airbag kind of scare me off. Once again, great post.

The last video shows rear door panel, but procedure is pretty similar.
From the description OP had a problem to figure out that the top of the panel has reversed U trim that goes into glass slot. You need to push the panel up to have it come out.
