How do you get this piece off? Had everything else ready but this one. Didn't want to reef to hard and break it.

That is part of the panel. Push it towards the door while lifting up on it. There are some small clips molded into it that grip several places inside the door at the top

I broke mine when I did it...so be careful...I thought I knew what I was doing, but you gotta make sure you aren't gonna break the clips.

Ya be has gentle as you can getting that black trim off the door, i got mad when i took mine off because i couldnt get mine of and broke the clips that hold it on the door. TAKE YOUR TIME. Also if at all possible dont try to remove the black trim from your door panel because its next to impossible to get the clips off without breaking the plastic nipples on the trim.
