If equipped, remove window crank. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW CRANK - REMOVAL)
Remove screw holding door trim to door panel from behind inside latch release handle .
Disengage clips attaching door trim to door frame around perimeter of panel.
Lift trim panel upward to disengage flange from inner belt molding at top of door.
Tilt top of trim panel away from door to gain access to latch linkage.
Disengage clip attaching linkage rod to inside latch release handle (INSIDE DOOR HANDLE LINKAGE).
Separate linkage rod from latch handle.
Disconnect the power door switch, courtesy lamp electrical connectors.
Remove front door trim panel from vehicle.


REMOVAL
Remove the watershield. (remove the speaker, then peel off the plastic sheeting)
Remove door glass retaining clips and secure the window in the up position using masking tape or equivalent(FRONT DOOR GLASS CLIPS).
Disconnect wire connector from power window motor, if equipped.
