Default Door panel removal

How exactly do you remove the front door panels. I saw a post that said take out the two screws and pull. I have removed the two screws, but it seems my panel is on pretty tight. I tried to pry of some sides with a screwdriver but the panel does not budge much. I am afraid to exert more pressure on the panel in fear of breaking some pieces. Is there a certain part of the panel that should be pried off first? Thank you in advance for any help.

^^ yea that's an excellent write up on how to remove the door panels.

I would also reccommend getting a door removal tool to make it much more easy and painless to do. You can get it at most auto stores.

Thanks for the post. I was just out at my car and took off the door panel with some info from djct_watt. I did not however remove the door handle first. Because of this I could not disconnect the other wires, so I was trying to hold the door panel up while I was disconnecting the side mirror wire harness. Thanks again for your response. It will come in handy when I will be installing my new side mirror.

You don't need to remove the handle. . . just the switch panel. . . and the wire harnesses are right there.

And you shouldn't have to undo the mirror harness if you are simply removing the door, only the switches.
