How are our door panels attached?

My passenger door has been damaged and replaced before. The shop, of course, took off the panel and put it on the new door.

And years later now, I'm having rattles from that door, which leads me to think that they did not properly bolt it on.

I don't see any screws anywhere. Any help?

Hey Newton, check out this video. You'll have to click on "SAMPLE BEFORE YOU BUY" to see the video.

Thanks everyone for the help. Ken, that vid looks a bit scary, prying the trim pieces like that. But, eh, gotta do what ya gotta do.

Yap, its scary but the only way to get it out safely. Also be aware that some of those pins holding the wood trim will break and may not be reusable especially in the older 220's. Buy extra pins. They are like 2 bucks each.

I called in today to order the CD-ROM, MBUSA said they A) Do Not Sell Them To Non-Dealers, B) That website is giving the wrong information.
