Door Panels
I want to remove the door panels on my 2010 Escape in order to replace the speakers. I see the exposed 3 screws. I figure that there are screws behind the handle panel, maybe the power window station, and possibly the top pillar. My experience with these things is after that a very firm pull releases the clips and then you lift after harness dis-connect. I figured I'd check with you guys because a little insight can avoid scratches and aggravation. I'll get through it, but If anyone has done these I'd love some input. Thanks.

The newer Ford door panels, like for the past 10 years or so, don't use clips like they used to. Once you have removed all the screws, you lift up on the door panel and then pull it away from the door. The back of the panel has little "fingers" that go in a slot in the door frame and then when you press the panel down the "fingers" kinda hold onto the door frame as your fingers would hold onto a ledge. Don't grab and pull straight out like you used to do, that will break off the "fingers".
