Now we come back to the door handle whose screw we already removed. Slide it to the right (toward the car) and pull it out towards you. It'll come out easily. I'll attach an image of the clips that hold it in place so that you can understand what's holding it in and how not to break it.

Here's a pic of the front clip that holds in the arm rest fascia panel. Remember, start from the back and work your way up to this guy.

This image shows the clips holding in the door handle as well as the slots they fit into. Mind you, I had to remove the panel in order to take this image. We're not there yet, I just wanted yuh to see!

The handle comes out and just hangs. No need to detatch the cables that operate the door latch.

Now we start AT THE BOTTOM popping out door panel clips. If you're following along with print-outs from the manual (as you should be!) you'll notice that I'm not using the pry tool where the manual said the clip was. I'll follow with more similar images of where I pried that actually removed the clips. *** None of them broke despite the fact that my tool never caught the actual clips while prying. They just popped right out when I pried in this and the following spots

Now you can lift straight up and free your door panel, but bear in mind that the door handle is still running through it. I'll show you in the next pic how I oriented the handle to get it through the panel without scratching anything.

The manual says to just push up on the speaker, but I don't think I agree. Just pushing up resulted in a broken clip, and also it was freakin stuck. I'll show you why and offer a suggestion in the image below

Disconnect the speaker's connector and set the speaker aside. Its another simple squeeze clip

Next up, we disconnect this connector and will begin unclipping the harness from the door so that we can fit it out through the vapor barrier.

Here I show off my fancy pry tool at work removing the first clip holding this leg of the harness to the door. I WOULD NOT ADVISE USING A PRY TOOL! In the next two pics I'll show off the clip's design and demonstrate how they could be removed more safely and effectively with a flat head screwdriver, preserving your clips and preventing unnecessary damage to the plastic barrier

Please pry them using a flat head as shown. Pull or pry the clip away from the door enough to get a flat head in there, then press in toward the center of the clip to release one of the two legs, then do the other leg. Using only a pry tool will rip the plastic barrier. At least that's my experience.

Now we unclip the section of harness that went to the door control panel from the door. Its clip also has two legs and is best removed with a flat head, one side at a time.

So begins the process of gently peeling the plastic away from the miraculously still very sticky/goopy black adhesive that holds it in place. I used my fingers to attempt to get as much of the adhesive as possible to stay on the door while pulling the barrier away. I started on the upper right side and worked my way around

Here's me finishing removal of the barrier. Once it's unbound, slide it off of the harness and set it aside. I'd recommend placing it sticky-side up in your car so that it doesn't blow away or otherwise get damaged/stepped on/whatever

Here's the aforementioned hole!

Here's a shot of the hole and the two bolts holding the window to the arm. A 10mm socket will get them out. For removal I used a "nut grabber" socket made by koken. I'll show it next, it's totally unnecessary, but the sockets were reasonable and each have a ball detent to help prevent dropping bolts/nuts. In absence of those one might want to have a magnet stick handy just in case

Koken nut grabber. picked up a metric rail from frankstools. I love their neat import tools, but one time the dude didn't ship my pliers, offer a refund, or respond. If there was another place to get some of the stuff..

5 bolts for the window motor regulator assy. All the same length.

Once unbolted, rotate the assembly and unclip the window motor's electrical connector
