how do you remove front door panels?

Looks like my tint person messed up the weatherstip on top of my r/s front door panel. I know folks on this forum have had front panels off messing with their speakers. I see one screw recessed into the unlock toggle, four clips of some sort underneath the armrest/door grab, and nothing around the perimeter of the panel except a lip at the bottom (about 3/4 the width of the panel).

Can somebody post the proper sequence? Thanks in advance!

I just removed and re-installed a rear door panel (several times, don't ask!). I bet the front door panels are attached the same way.

Remove the screw behind the door opening lever, press in the clips under the arm rest - that reveals another screw.

Pull out on a strong part on the lower panel (like the cup holder) to release a clip, then work your way around, popping up the clips. Once they are all released, lift the panel up and pull away from the window. The door open latch mechanism goes though the hole in the panel.

Release the connector from the window switch in the armrest.

That should do it. Again, this was a rear panel, I'm hoping the fronts are the same. Knowing Honda, they probably work the same way.

No prob, I'm working on my own project - adding a small subwoofer to the stereo. I've got power to the sub (using the accessory plug), and the spliced left rear speaker wires to feed the high-level input to the sub. I'm gonna do the right rear tomorrow, I'll take some pics of that while I'm doing it.
