I need to remove all of the door panels, door handles and mirrors in an 07 ES 350 due to body work and repaint. Does anyone have any diagrams, illustrations, guidance or advice on how these items are removed. I have tried to remove on of the door panels but it does not seem to come off in the conventional way and I do not want to break or bend anything. If there is anyone with an illustration that shows the attaching screws and or clips and their locations. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Wouldn't that be the job of the guy doing the bodywork and paint?

Once you get the door panel off, the rest should come apart relatively easy I would imagine.

When I replaced the power window motor in my mom's Camry, it was a matter of finding the hidden screws. I bet if you popped the power window switch panel out, it would expose some screws. I haven't taken a close enough look at my ES door panel to try and figure out how it comes off.

Once the screws are located, you'll most likely have to get a plastic pry tool to pop it off around the perimeter of the panel. Be prepared to replace some of the plastic clips as they often break. The panel will be ok w/o some of them, but this is how rattles start.

Another suggestion is to try and locate documentation on how to replace door speakers in the ES - the door panel has to come off for that job too.

The doors on the ES 350 are nothing like the IS. Here are some pictures of when I replaced my speakers.

And these tools were awesome! And I've used them for other prying projects around the house.
