I am home for christmas with the family. Dad's rig was broken into at the airport earlier in the month. We have read all the ecommended instructions for removing the door panel so we can replace the lock mechanism, but can't get past the "hidden screws" under the window control panel.

Any help? Feel free to PM.

For the 03-06 Expys, you had to remove the little, long cover under the handle to get the 2 hidden screws (T20 screws?). There were 2 other screws (I think 7mm) at the very bottom, and one Philips head on the side. You also had to remove the cover around the handle, and then lift up on the window switch. Disconnect the electrical connectors and lift the panel up.

Maybe the 07-08s are similar?

 

Removed the two screws at the bottom, the one behind the handle, and the one on the side above the latch (phillips head). We popped the mirror control and disconnected it.

We can't get the window control panel to pop out as the directions suggest. It is definitely being held by a screw somewhere behind the arm rest with the window control panel (below the handle). The entire window control panel is one unit where as the older models had two pieces.

Appreciate the help.

Hoping to fix it by Monday, if not, we will go ask the guy at the radio installation place.

 

There are two more screw/bolts under a flap where your fingers go when you shut your door. Look down there you will see an outline of a rectangle flap with two small spots for a small thin flathead screwdriver to pry it up. There is a total of 6 bolts/screws on the door.
