01 Navigator door panel removal
hey guys, just found this forum..
we had a big freeze last night and after trying to roll my passenger window down, my door handle started moving in like someone was pulling it.. basically I think the window is off track and something has fallen down but to find out I need to remove the door panel.. Ive tried pulling up, pulling in, looking for screws and everything else.. I know theres got to be screws that need to be removed but I cant find any!! HELP!!
thanks

By the courtesy light, you mean the one down low on the door where you pry just the lens off?
Pop out the power window switches, there could be one behind there. Once all the screws are out you lift the door panel upward and outward.

yes, the courtesy light down low.. I popped the lens off and also popped out the light and plastic that holds it.. theres not a screw that i see, all i see is some type of plastic clip that you can barely reach.. I have taken the lock/window switch and do not see a screw in there either..

I did some looking around and found a few places that mention that a navigator door panel (unlike an expedition door panel) is held on by retaining clips behind the panel. They say that these panels have to be pried off.
