Alert!! Model Year 2005 Supplement:

 3. Look for a similar locking cap near the speaker grille. This cap is actually a retainer which needs
to be pulled out. A flat blade tool will work perfectly (about 3/8”). Caution: pry carefully as to
not scratch the door panel.

6. Lift straight up on door panel and it will come off. You can see the white hooks on the back of
