Hey guys. Does anyone know how to correctly take off the IS350 door panels? Or is there a thread on here on how to do it? I need to take it off to add a piece of felt to make my windows stop squeaking with my tint. Thanks

I've taken my door panels off.
there is a clip with a screw in it directly behind the door handle. I have no clue how to take that screw out. I pulled the door panel out with force and pretty much messed up the screw.
after taking a lok at it... I have no idea how anyone would be able to take that out without force.
to put it back one, I took apart that little plate that holds in the screw and clip and removed it all together.
I hope that helps. if not, I MIGHT have some pics of when I did it.
EDIT
i figured out how to remove the screw behind the door handle. you cant really tell, but behind the door handle, theres a panel you can remove. i did not notice this earlier. you can remove this panel and gain access to the screw that i was not able to access before. if you need a pic, let me know and i will try to take one with my phone.
