removing interior door panel

[chad.helton]

Hey guys. So, my driver side, exterior door handle is loose. I thought this would be a simple project to pop the door panel off and tighten it right up... not so much. I took out all the screws but was not sure how to approach the interior handle and the device to roll down the window. I put it back together before I broke something!!

There is a plastic lock that slides off the rod to unhook the rod onto the interior door handle. Once you have removed the interior handle, make sure you remove the two screws that retains the interior door grab handle and possibly on the lower section of the door panel. The panel is held partially with plastic push pins that's attached to the door panel so carefully start from a corner of the door panel and unseat the pins as you work all the way around to remove the panel. The exterior door handle is held in by small wedges and a clip. It's best viewed from the top of the door window opening to see these wedges.
