SOURCE: 2000 lx 470 driver door panel

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

Hi,

Take a look at the steps involved.

First remove the window/lock control panel by prying up from the front edge, then sliding forward. Disconnect the electricals and set aside.

Pry the filler panel out from behind the inside door release handle.

Remove the two screw covers on the front edge of the door panel, then remove the 8 screws:

Use a screwdriver or other prying tool to pop the 6 clips snapping the panel to the door frame:

Lift the door panel away and up to remove it from the door frame and allow access to the regulator.
Be cautious when prying the clips loose and removing the panel; the plastic gets brittle with age and has been known to crack rather easily.

Good Luck!!

Thanks!!

How to remove the passenger side door panel?

It depends on where the screws that hold the front or rear door panels on are hidden. On my 1998 Buick Park Ave for instance, all the door panels have two screws that are hidden by a 3/4" wide x 5" long thin plastic removable piece that is located where you put your hand to grab the door to shut it; there is also a screw behind a courtesy light that is on the lower right bottom of the panel that can be preyed out with the end of a flat-end screw driver. Go to Google and ask your question.

2004 Cadillac Deville front drivers side window off track

There is always some way to get to the screws. So if they are not obvious you need to look for circles that can pop off with a screw driver or hidden places like under the handle or in the side pocket or even the outter edge when you open the door.

look for any screws near the door handle might be kind of hidden or covered by a removable plastic cover . also start at the bottom corner with a good flat blade screw driver and pry the clips loose starting on bottom corner and across then up .. if all screws are out near door handle you should be able to lift up on the door panel and remove it unless there is a screw in say the window crank if its manuel. electric windows and door locks has a plugin in back you can unplug also to take the whole thing off. thanks Jerry holler if you need more.

Rh door panel

1. Remove the philips screw in the plastic trim by the mirror and remove the trim piece.
2. Using a flat blade screw driver gently pry up the front of the panel holding the window and door lock switches. This pulls the assembly out of the spring clamp. Pull it up and forward to remove it from the arm rest.
3. Remove the two philips screws holding the switches to the trim piece.
4. Find the two screws holding the arm rest. They're at the junction of the arm rest and the switch assembly. Only the one going into the door needs to be removed.
5. Gently pry the trim piece from the door handle. There are two spring clamps, one in the front and one in the rear of this plastic piece.
6. There is a hidden phillips screw that needs to be removed. It's located at the inside bottom rear corner of the door panel. It's hidden in the carpet trim.

After this last screw is removed the door panel can be lifted straight up and off. Feed the cable harness through the hole and your're done.
