03 Expedition Door removal

How do you remove the driver's door panel? Do you need a special pry bar if so what is it called? Thanks loads. My dealership was not helpful at all.

On my 98 you have to remove screws located behind the plastic trim on the driver's side mirror(pull up and out), lamp above the pocket at the bottom of the door(pry off carefully), underneath the window controls (pry off carefully) and the door handle. Lift the panel up and out.

Yep, on my 99, 3 screws plus door handle and it comes off...

1. located behind the plastic trim on the driver's side mirror; remove trim - pull out then up.
2. inside the lamp at the bottom of the door; pry off cover from the bottom .
3. underneath the window controls; pry up carefully & evenly front and back.
4. Remove door handle - one bolt

Lift the panel up and out.

My door does not have a separate trim for the mirror, it is one molded piece with the door panel. But I will look again and see if I can do it with the rest of your instructions. Thanks for your help.

I took my '03 Expy to a local stereo shop. The 17 year-old kid charged me $30 to remove and re-install the panel. Took about 4 minutes to remove and it wasn't damaged at all.

Click here for instructions. Andy-Expy03 gives good detailed instructions in the 3rd post of the thread. I pulled mine off about 2 years ago by just going slow and feeling my way through it.
