    He guys, can anyone tell me how to remove door and dash panel? Specifically I want to replace the red door and dash accents on the SR5 that come with the black/red interior. I want to try out the color bond product to change the red to black and want to take these pieces out rather than try to do it in place. Thanks much for your help!

    Looking for 2016 door panel removal. 3rd Gen Tacoma panel's are a lot different than previous models.
    Thanks for the replay though.

    I was able to remove the all around the edges and could remove and unplug the window switches. There's no screw at the door release lever but I still couldn't pull the panel away and it felt like i.e. was still attached somehow. I didn't want to break it so I put all back together.

    AGAIN everyone trying to help us. 2016 3rd gen Tacoma's have a different door panel. They DO NOT come off like previous models.
    We appreciate the help, but this is a new challenge.

    There is a screw in the door release lever, it's covered by a black plastic trin piece.
