Trying to take the door panel off on drivers side
 

How do i do this? I took the two screws off the arm rest. Well, my door opener lever just broke off and I'm trying to find out how to take the entire panel off. Does it just pop off? or is there something I'm missing on it? i have a 98 GMC Seirra. It's the driver's side door panel I need help with. Thanks in advance!

take the trim piece off that goes around your handle

the 2 screws u already did

the triangle piece up high

it pops off..use a door clip tool or you'll break stuff

ARGON,

Whats the trick with the latch panel you mentioned. Nothing obvious is standing out and I don't want to break this piece.

thanks

Having just replaced my driver side door handle, heres what I did:
Remove the 2 screws. Before you can pop off the door panel, you'll need to remove that plastic oval-shaped panel where your interior door handle and locking switch is located. Behind that panel are 4 tabs (middle top and bottom, left and right); I used a thin flat-head screwdriver to push up on the tabs and painstakingly pull the thing out. Once you get that plastic interior panel off, the entire door panel itself has white plastic tabs on the backside; just use a flathead and pry the panel toward you, starting with the top left corner, they can break so be careful.
