So I succeeded in putting my knee through the speaker grill on the drivers door this winter via a slip on the ice. Got the new speaker grill from the stealership ($39). Just need a little guidance on removing the door panel to replace the grill. Thanks Matt

I had to remove mine once a few years back. If I remember correctly, there are little round plugs located along the edges of the door panel, they have even smaller round center pieces. Use something pointy and push in the centers of each plug, that releases the clips. I think all you do then is lift upwards and remove (unplug all electrical connections from the back).

Well that was most of it. There is also 2 screws (Torx) hidden behind a beauty insert on the large handle you use to close the door. Once you get those 2 removed and the push pins on the perimeter of the door it does indeed lift straight up. Now you must remove the door cable and the 3 wiring harnesses and viola', it is off.

Attempted to remove plastic cover around interior driver side door handle, but am afraid of breaking it. I managed to pry it partly off, but the back seems to be very well atached. Please advise.
