Go get a 5.5mm socket, a flatblade screwdriver & a Phillips screwdriver.
Use the flatblade to pop off the reflector. This will access the bolt or screw...I can't remember which.
Use the flatblade to get in between the back of the power window switch "housing". Twist it so that it slides forward. (You may not need the screwdriver) Lift the front and pull out.
Undo the bolt (or screw I can't remember which) that you just exposed.
LIFT the panel straight up after you disconnect the electrical stuff.
There's a vapor barrier that you'll need to peel back to access the inner workings.

I think its a 7mm socket on the door panel. About a month ago there was a thread asking for the same info. I replied a 8mm bolt and some else corrected me. But Monsta did explaine it right. the 5.5 mm is the size bolt/screw for the speakers in the doors. I just changed mine out.

5.5mm is for the grill.
Whoops. And the Phillips screwdriver is to remove the panel on my Avalanche!

Monsta, those pics are in the thread I was talking about, thanks for you help. Moto, Make sure when putting the panel back on that all of the clips and lock **** all line up right! You will notice if one of the clips is not locked in the door because the panel will budge out a little. just slide it up a little and push it back down into place.
