Soo.. 95+ interiors.. removing door panels.. I know it is here somewhere but I know I'll spend a friggin week looking for it -.- anyone able to help me out? lol thanks.

Pop off the mirror hole cover, remove the two bolts holding the door panel to door, pop the switch panel out, then use that trim removal tool to pop the door clips out that hold it too the door might need some spare clips cause they break

Heres my favorite:

It allows you to sneak in under the head of the clip and pop it out. Usually doing so without even breaking the clips.

Make sure the truck is "warm" though. The colder parts are the more likely they are to snap. Especially plastic...

Manual or power doors? If manual, you'll need a door handle removal tool. Cheap! $5.00?
The bezel around the inner door handle has clips that are round the INSIDE of the opening, & the clips push to the OUTSIDE of the ring. The clips are on the flat sides of the opening. Don't force them. I try to get one. or two clips opposite of each other released then push a piece of cardboard in there to keep them from re-attaching while getting the others unclipped. 1/2 a hacksaw blade with the teeth ground off works well, too! My tool of choice for this.
If you break the clips, good luck getting any from the wreckers. People just rip those off, cause they don't know or care & break the clips so they're useless.

Forgot about the door handle trim bezel, and something like the tool posted above I got mine from LMC, and the dealer sells the clips too

I just bought 50 door panel clips on Amazon.com for about $10. Nice to have them just in case.

Blakestuhh...You've posted that before. No biggie! Like to help, but I just don't know. Maybe some of the electrical wizards could help.
