    Hey guys, last night at the drive through I dropped my debit card in the window slot in the door panel so I need to remove it to get my card back. I've been having difficulty finding decent tutorials online so if anyone has a decent video or can explain it simply it would be appreciated. Also, is it completely necessary to have the removal tool for the plastic clips that hold the door panel on?

    Bone stock. For now.
    Found this on customtacos.com:

    "you can pop out the power lock/window panel extremely easy[​IMG]. i can do it in less than a second. it slides forward and up.

    There are only 3 screws hodling the door on


    2 in the big handle, and 1 in the door handle latch.

    remove door handle latch, unscrew, pull forward, slip off the plastic clip

    take out the two big long screws from the stationary door handle

    then the door has little plastic clips at the edges

    pull STRAIGHT with fingers to each side of each clip. takes a bit of force, but they come right out.

    buy some spares. youll break a few your first time if you arent careful."

    It's pretty straightforward.
