Question door panel removal

A 02 XLT with a minor rattle in the drivers door window area. Want to check it out but not sure how to remove the panel, don't have a manual. I have the tool to remove the plastic "buttons" that held the panel on in older models but this one didn't look like they were used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i just removed my door panels tonight
mine is a 1996 mind you but i just worked my way around the door pulling gently till the clips popped out
broke a few clips but thats to be expected
local auto store sells those clips by the bag for about 5 bucks
keep in mind thats a 1996
02 may be different im not to sure on that but most door panels are the same general idea
dont forget any screws you can see aswell

Mikephotos thanks for the reply and pictures but unfortunatly they came up very small and unreadable on my pc? why I don't know. From what I could see it looks rather complicated and may be something more than I want to try. Thanks again!!

oldgwth, you probably have your internet explorer set to Automatic Image Sizing. If so that's probably why it looks unreadable. If so and you want to change this, go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab and scroll down to Multimedia and uncheck "Enable Automatic Image Sizing".

It's not hard to remove the door panel, you can do it yourself easily.
