can't seem to get the passenger door panel off
I found a rattle from the loose connection of the black window thingy (really tech) and the red panel. I have a hot date friday and don't want it rattling. I went to take the panel off and I can't get the black peice to unlatch. I've pulled the drivers side before to replace the window motor, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, the panel is just hanging threre. Please help a guy out asap. It doesn't look good when a first date involves her saying "I love the red leather againist my body and the bare metal on my right arm"

you have to "bop" the plastic trim piece on the top of the door panel wth your palm toward the outside of the car, while pulling gently up on the trim piece. If I remember right there ar 3 or 4 latches that snap onto the door frame. installing is easier.

Make sure the window is down, and "bop" it like mentioned above, or squeeze it into the door as you lift up. It's a pain in the *** the first time, but once you figure it out you'll be set.

About half way down, paragraph starts with something about removing mirrors and door handles.
