its very easy to do....takes about 5 minutes max. first pop the speaker grill off, and then remove the speaker. you will also need to pop out the 2 pieces that the bottom speaker screws fasten into. next remove the little cover that is behind the opener handle, and you will find 2 8mm bolts.... then pop the switch bezel up from the arm rest area, and that will expose another 8mm bolt. finally there will be 2 smaller bolts along the very bottom edge of the door panel. after they are all out, the panel will lift straight up about 2 inches or so, and then can pull from the door. you will have to release a catch that holds the opener handle to the panel, and fish it out of the hole. i doubt you will cause any rattles by doing this. they actually attach pretty well with the tab system it has.
