I need to remove interior door pnel to remove dent in door
Answer There is a small black plastic piece that surrounds your door handle. You MUST take that off, I find a small flat tip screw driver works best. The plastic cover that goes on the inside part of the door where your mirror is should be removed, makes it a lot easier to remove door trim: No screws on that part just grab from both sides and pull. 3 screws on bottom and 1 screw inside the armrest. The window crank, easiest way tried and true, shoestring, pull handle towards inside of car until you have enough room to fit the shoestring between crank and plastic washer. Give it a pull back and forth and it'll pop right off; clip should stick to shoestring as an added bonus.

. Disconnect your
negative battery cable. Locate and remove the screws that hold your interior
door handles in place (they may be hidden by snap in, or snap on clips). Remove
the interior door handles, then disconnect the wire clips to the switches. Your
panel is held in place by snap in clips; use 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 pulled, pull the panel
upward to remove it from the door.
Install in reverse.
If
you don't have power windows you will have to remove the manual window crank.
It is held in place by a clip on the back side of the base. To remove the clip,
you will need a small hook (kind of like a knitting needle). Put the hook in
behind the base, and grab the clip and pull it off. To replace it, slide the
clip back on the window crank, and snap it back on the door.
