Pry off the plastic sail piece.

Pry off the cover to expose a screw near the front of the door.

Pry open the little cover to expose another screw next to the lock.
Image

Put a flat head screwdriver between here...
Image
And push the screwdriver up till u hear the clip release.
Then put the screwdriver between here...
Image
And push the screwdriver down till u hear the clip release.
You should be able to take out the plastic surround.

Take out the little carpet piece and expose a screw.
Image

After getting the screw out, pry the cubby hole thing out. **Start prying clips from the back first then pull the whole thing towards the rear to get it out**
Image

Disconnect harnesses. Passenger side has 2 harnesses and driver side has 1.
Image

You should know what to do with these...
Image
Image

Starting from the bottom of the door panel, pry off the clips...there's about 7 altogether.
Image
Then lift the panel up a little to get it off.

Remove the harness for the tweeter and the door panel should be completely off.

I guess he missed one. However, I've read a lot of resources, but I never found out how to remove the door handle when I was trying to at least disconnect a blown speaker on the right side (which kicks in every now and then)... Just to think I was going to take it to a pro in a few weeks; thanks for the tutorial!
