Removing the window control panel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two ways to remove the window control panel:
- Pop it out of the door with a tape-wrapped screw driver
- Remove the door panel, and remove it safely
I choose to remove the door panel, as the plastic around the control panel is very soft.
If you decide to try and pop it out, you can skip to the middle of the guide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First remove the mirror panel.
This just pops off when pulled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then remove the screw from the door handle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pull the handle slightly, then slide towards the front of the car to remove it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove the two screws under this handle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then un-cap the screw at the front of the door, and remove the screw.
Be gentle as the door plastic is very soft, use a cloth under the screwdriver to protect the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove the screw inside the door handle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a clip holding the door handle to the pull-rod.
This clip twists off the rod, then the handle pulls up off of it.
If you can't get the handle off, it can pass though the hole, and stay there (I had to do this at first)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last thing to remove on the door, is a pop-bolt at the back.
You pry the center up about 1/4" then remove the entire pop-bolt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gently pull on the door all the way from the front, around the bottom, then to the back.
The door panel then lifts up, and off the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door will have several wire connectors attached.
Press the tab on each connector to free the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can now remove the window controls from behind the door panel.
