How does the passenger side door panel come off? I got a small dent on the door. Therefore, I'm calling a paintless dent remover to work out the dent. But I need to get the passenger's side door panel off so that he can get behind the dent. I've had the driver's side door panel off a number of times. But on the passenger panel there is one or two screws that are under the door handle around the window switch. I can't figure out how to get to them. The workshop manual shows a screw under the door handle and gives some basic instructions like "remove screw". It isn't specific and I don't want to tear up the panel. If you have any idea how to get the last screw(s) out please let me know. Pictures are here:

The perimeter screws, the door handle screw at the part you lift to open the door, and one screw below the handle are out.



Thanks very much,

Keith Jones

you shouldnt have to pull the panel for pdr..

the fella who did mine did it through the gap from the window glass...

the gap you show on pic three should be enough for him to run his tool through..

I just used a larger jeweler's screwdriver to pry out the electric window switch. It popped up when I put pressure on the right side of it then pried upward. The final door panel screw is right under it.
