  3. Prior to reinstalling door trim panel, reattach the two armrest clips to the door sheet metal.
  4. Disconnect the inside door handle linkage.
  5. Disconnect the electrical connectors.

do you have to use a door trim pad clip remover or can i use something like a flat screw driver or pry bar?


A small pry bar or crow bar would work well.
