I am trying to change out my power door lock actuator on the drivers side but cant get the door panel off. all the clips around the side and bottom are off but i cant get it off of the door at the top. it seems like it should come off as one peice, but im not sure. anybody have any tips before i break something would be a great help. thanks

 

door glass needs to be down,then at top of trim panel you must put pressure toward the door & then go up & off with the trim panel. The top of the trim panel lips over the top & to the inside of the door itself. I hope this helps this is really hard to describe............. Good Luck, Joe

 

thanks for the help. the book i had said to make sure the window is up, along with some other ****ty directions.

 

i think the window being down is the only way to do it right, i had a hard time taking mine off for a power window motor swap.. take your time..
