Removing rear interior panals - 2005 Mazda Tribute

Hi. Thanks for your question. For fremoving rear door panal on proton you can visit https://www.reliable-store.com and download the entire workshop manual which includes all the information along with the diagrams for better understanding. Good day!

Most cars have "pry off" spring button connectors see u-tube

take it to a shop i could fix it but its not for a dyi person unles your comfterbl removing interior panals

remove screw on panal around handle that opens car. remove 2 screws underneath handle that pulls door closed. check around door panal edge for screws and if so remove them. Now remove panal by prying slightly around edges or panal as to pull the clips loose. Dont bother if some break,they can be easly replaced and dont cost much at all. I always use a still putty knife to help pry panal off. This insures you dont crack panal while pulling on it. Once thjis is dont you will have access to the switch...Simply replace it and place panal back on and HEY !! you did it..... hope this helps and if so Please leave rating on this post and good luck..

not really sure on that one but on most first you will need to remove screw around handle that opens the door that needs to be removed. also should be screws underneth handle that pulls door shut that you will have to remove and in some cases . check around edge of door panal for more screws and if found remove them also. once all screws are removed you will need to pry on door panal slightly because there are clips behind panal holding it on. in alot of cases the clips break when removing panal but dont worry the can be bought at your local auto parts store and are very easy to replace. I usually use something flat like a small stiff putty knife to help pry door panal lose. this helps insure that you dont break of crack the panal. after all clips are off simply unplug wire connections and door handle linkage and your done. .....hope this helps and good luck

As per the Haynes manual for your vehicle.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need any other help.

Sounds like either a linkage rod came off or the interior handle is broken. either way you have to take the interrior door panal off to see which it is.

If you have power windows start by disconnecting your negative battery cable. Then you need to locate and remove the screws that hold your interior door handles in place (they may be hidden by snap in, or snap on clips). Once you remove the screws that hold the door handles, remove any wire connectors to the handles, if they're not power you will need a small hook (kinda like a knitting needle) to remove the window crank. A manual window crank is held in place by a clip on the base. Slide the hook behind the base and remove the clip. The door panel itself, is held on by snap in clips, and you will need a small pry bar to pull them from the door (try to get as close to, or directly under the clips to prevent them from tearing out of the door panel). Once the clips are removed from the door, pull the panel upward to remove it from the door.

Install in reverse.

I hope this helps you, and I wish you luck on your repair.
