Remove innder door panel cover, remove light cover screw inside. I havnt had mine off for a couple of years, but there might be 2 screws at the bottom, by the handle, and somewhere around the pull handle. Then lift up and it should come off, remove all connectors, and the door panel is out of the way. Remove the 2 10mm retaining nuts for the handle, disconnect the linkage rod at the latch, little yellow clip holds it on. Reverse and repeat for install.

just be double triple careful to get all the screws off the door panels.... If it doesn't come off easily check again for more screws holding it on.

I just had the same problem.

It can be some what tricky even after you loosen the bolts holding the door handle down because inside is a bar that releases the hinge when you pull up on the handle and that bar is shaped in such a way it makes replacement hard. I had to bend the hell out of mine to get it done, but then again I'm a first timer. A vet may know a bit more. If you want some more information do a search for posts I made and you will find the one where everyone was talking about it.

there is technically only one screw, behind the courtesy light lense, and one 8 mm bolt under the power window switch bezel, thats all that holds the door panel on besides the 8 million plastic fingers on the back of it. lift up and out when you take the panel off, dont pull straight towards you or snap snap snap!!!

The 93 I parted every single finger was broken... I couldn't believe the panel was still held to the door.
