After I have removed the screws in the lower magazine pouch, under the wood trim strip,by the door opener and all push clips loose there is something in the middle of the door near the door closing handle that is still holding the door panel and not allowing removal.How do I get this interior panel off on the passenger front door to allow me to replace the window lift motor?

Thanks,
Tracy

You gotta get all the screws loose and the edge clips popped, then just muscle it up, straight up with a quick, straight arm so it will come off the center support.
Its a black plastic piece that will probably fall out, reinstall it in the panel for reassembly. Realoem.com is a site that I use for the exploded view, put in part number 51418156532 you will see
