Considering I just spent 3 days ripping my car apart ( http://www.tt-cc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic=128&forum=1&12 ) I feel I can advise you with confidence.

It's pretty simple with a few tricky parts.
1-take off all screw. 2 by the hinges (covered with plastic caps), 2 in the door handle (cvrd with plastic plugs), 1 buy the door pocket, 1 behind the door courtesy light, 2 small screws along the bottom, under the panel.
2- pop off the 2 "snap" things by the lock assembly. Use a screw driver to "pop" the center "button" inwards then pry them out.
3- here's the tricky part. BE CAREFUL! removing the door handle bezel. It's snapped in place VERY tight. gently pry the front out a bit, then pry the top down, then pry the bottom up. Once you have it sort of out, carefully force it towards the "back". TAKE YOUR TIME! I broke mine the first time.
4- The rest is easy. Gently snap off the bottom area of the panel and work your way around. To remove it off the door lift it in an upward motion.
Hope that helped! If I wasn't clear, let me know

PHI r u there i have all day today and i really wanna get this done

im having trouble with the door handle thingy it wont come off

how to i get that FUKKER out thx

The door hadle bezel is held in by pegs on the bottom and top. What I mean by &quot;back&quot; is the direction (towards the &quot;back&quot; of the car) Once you've got the front, top and bottom of the bezel sort of loose, use the heal of you hand to force it out in a &quot;backwards&quot; direction. It's held there with a hook.

As for the power lock and windows connections , they're just held together with plastic tabs. Use you fingers(if they're small enough) or a screwdriver to press the tabs down and pull the connectors apart at the same time. Don't get frustrated, that's how I broke mine. Just play around with it and it should come loose.

BTW I'll be here for a while (6 hrs @ work). Let me know if you need any thing else.

Just in case it still doesn't work, I'll try to help you out more. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the top and bottom off. Gently, yet with some force push it towards the &quot;back&quot; of the car while your trying to free up the top and bottom. Playing around with the handle itself may help to (open and closing motion)

phi does the little lock knob and handle come off too or just the plastis around it?

and i still cant get it off
i managed to get the top of it loose but the rest wont budge at all. Did u have this much trouble?

and i got the window thingy off with no problem so thx for helpin me out there

and how do i remove the curtosy light? does that just pop off as well?

thx

[Phi]

Just the plastic around the handle comes off. The handle is fixed on the door itself. Yes I did have as much difficulty as you . I use my broken one as a guide to help me take that thing off. But it's still hard everytime I do it.

The courtesy lights just pops off, no screws.

damn guys you 2 seemed like you had a lot of trouble. when i had my widows tinted the guy took off my door panels. he did it 1-2-3 with no probs at all. it obviously isnt that hard to do but i guess if its your first time to do it it wil be a pain in the ass. good luck. and just think after you figure out how to do it you can charge other camry people that want their speakers changed.
