Hey guys,

I have bad rattling inside my driver's side door... makes music with good bass unbearable. The door rattles when I shut it if the window is open. I think my window track is coming loose or something, but I can't figure out how to get the door panel off, and I am scared I'll break it. Are there instructions anywhere for removing it? Thanks.

 

remove any external fasteners then push the panel forward to release it, it held on sort of runner locator's

 

There are 2 screws holding your door panel on, one in the front top side of the door and one in the rear back top side of the door. They are both small philips head screws that you need to remove. Also, you'll need to take out the window control switch by pushing a thin tool (I used an hex wrench) up under it in the little hole to push the clip back and then pop the window control unit out. You'll need to disengage the plug once initially out, and then pull up and out on the interior door handle. Once initially separated, you'll need to undo the locking device (long white thing at top), and then unplug the electrical connectors below that. Once those items are disengaged, you'll have the door panel out free and clear.

 

I feel like a complete idiot, but I can't get the window switch out. I see the little hole on the underside of where the window switch is, and i tried pushing a small allen wrench up in the whole, and I feel it hitting something solid (presumably the underside of the window switch), but I don't feel a clip or anything... Can someone elaborate on how to get the window switch out?

Thanks,
Will
