The removal continues! This time, we looked into removing the door panel. In all honesty, I was working on the mirror plate cover and I dropped the piece inside the door panel so I was forced to remove it. But there's always a "steel" lining.
The panel is actually in two pieces. Multiple clips remove the top, but it's aggressive. I recommend using an air pump to release the clips. Once you remove the top panel, there are three 8mm to remove. There are two connectors which are most likely the lights. Once you remove the top panel and bolts, you use the air pump to release all the clips (there's a lot). Comparatively, it's much harder than any other models I've removed. You'll reveal the speaker, window regulator, controller, and sensors. Be careful! The inner steel is insanely sharp. Put my hand right in there and sliced my hand like butter. The plastic plate is held by 8mm all around the perimeter. Behind is the window regulator bracket.
I plan on removing the rest of the car and doing a video series at some point. We typically do removals when we first receive the car out of curiosity. Let me know if you have any questions!
