Don't know if ya did it already but here are some pictures.
3 screws The rest are those white clip things - panel
by the window there is a black triangle that pops out easy.
the door lock and handle both have cables that easily come out.

Once you have it back together open each window and hold the button down so that the controller and window sync to what is open and what is not.

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and my name is Walter.
I am having the same problem, I just blew a speaker myself. How do I remove this doorpanel. Is this an easy task or should I leave it to a professional? If someone could please help me, starting from how to remove the powerwindow assembly, does that just pop out or what. I don't want to ruin anything.

I also assume your talking about the controllers (up & down switches ), not the actual power motor.

Yes, just the controllers. Do they pop out? Is there any clips that I might be breaking off?

The clips are big, If you pull with your hands nothing should break..

Removing the door panel is very easy........ I did it to put dynamat on the front doors. WOW, what a difference the dynamat made in the lower end of the ML audio system. And it took away any rattles that occured at high volumes.
