Take a look at the link in the DIY Modifications & Maintenance sticky for the 3rd row seat swap. I explain the process in there and include pictures. Suffice it to say, in order to get to the rear quarter panels it is necessary to remove all the interior paneling from the 2nd row door area and work your way backwards in a domino effect. Takes a couple of hours to get to those panels depending on your mechanical know-how and how tough your vehicle's own panels are to remove.

Hmm, photos are there. If you can't see the photos then maybe an issue with your browser? Just in case, here's a link to the thread to make sure we're talking about the same one.

Whoohooo.. Very Simple .. This applies to front and rear doors. The doors only held by 3 screws. 1 located in the latch door opener, 2 located on the door handle.

1) Use a flathead n carefully Remove the plastic behind the latch door opener.
2) use same flathead n remove the plastic on front of the door handle from bottom up (since on top it has a lil clip)
3) remove top and bottom bolt of the handle (not the 2 in middle).
4) Carefully start prying out the door avoiding braking around 8 clips that hold the doors..
5) lift up

<<<<<<BANG>>>>>>
Takes about 5 min..
