Rmove the nylon phillips screw and push grommet in the bottom of the door
remove the 2 covers on the screws in the black front edge of the panel and remove the torx screws
Remove the small cover and torx screw in the door handle recess
Remove the 2 phillips screws under the armrest
Lever off the center part of the panel with the door handle on it but not including the black trim edge that it sits on top of. This black edge is the exposed portion of the weathershield panel underneath. You cannot get it off yet so do not pry under it. Disconnect the electrical connectors. Don't drop it until the connectors are loose. Careful not to damage the speaker.
With the door handle portion of the panel off, you expose the inner weather panel of black plastic. It has a bunch of large head torx screws in it. Remove these and pull the panel off. I just lay this panel down still connected to the wiring but you can remove the wiring and take the panel away.

Thank you for your help!
But we still stick to a problem, about the door panel.
The problem is, we thought that the veneer strip in the door panel had to be removed, of course without cusses.
Now, we understand that we only have to remove the panel itself not the strip.
So can you help us with further detail about where to pry the panel loose?
All the screws have been removed and the panel is loose, but we cant get it off!
Please help?
With kind regards we're waiting for an answer!

Maybe we'll shoot some pictures of the scene, when it worked out.
We'll let you know!
Thank you for so far with kind regards!

Do you mean that we have to remove the whole panel?
The panel is very stuck and we thought that the bucket where the door handle is positioned needed to be removed at first.
But this cant because the bucket is positioned at the back of the panel.
So first the panel needs to be removed, right?
And about removing the door panel, where are those pressure studs placed where you talked about?
(black trim edge that it sits on top of)
What does this mean, what is this, a rubber or the chrome edge from the bucket?
Maybe you can send me some pictures with the describing of the positions from the pressure studs etc......
Otherwise lets communicate by email: w.rijks@zuka.nl
Thank you very much an with kind regard from Hollland
