Question Drivers side door panel !

How hard or much trouble is removing the drivers side door panel ??
I've developed what sounds like something loose inside the door and it makes a sound like somrhing rolling around loose. It is not constant just at certain times.
But it is annoying so I'd like to remove the panel and see just what it is..
Or has anyone else had this problem and any idea what it might be ??
Thanks

It is actually pretty easy to remove the panel. Look under the tech files for lock actuator motor and it will show you how to remove the panel to get to the motor. Just use the part of the procedure you need. Just be sure to pull the panel up to remove,, not out as you might think. There are plastic hooks on the back that will break off if you pull it out.

Easy. pop the reflector out and remove screw hiding there, pop the switch console out, unplug and remove that screw, pop the cover for the mirror screws off. Lift the whole thing straight up.

Do you have the sound when the stereo is on? I just found that I had 3 blown speakers. Also, give the door seals a nice coating of silicone spray, then wipe them down and repeat.
