Door trim panel removal method: 1. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the lower trim panel of the door handle downwards, starting from the middle and then moving downwards and outwards when prying the front half of the rear door; 2. After removing the lower trim panel of the handle, you will see two black 8mm hex bolts inside, which should be unscrewed using a socket wrench; 3. Disconnect the power window switch connector, which has a clip inside that needs to be hooked from behind with a finger before it can be disconnected; 4. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the door handle trim panel from front to back, and pull the door handle open when removing it; 5. Use your hands to slightly pry open a gap at the bottom of the door trim panel, then insert a flat wrench to pry. The trim panel is secured to the door panel with a circle of plastic clips, so a little force is needed when prying. Pry them one by one, and the removal is complete once all clips are pried open.
