I was able to remove the door panel without any trouble. I was expecting to see the normal foam insulation, but instead found a hard plastic shell behind a fiber insulation. Anyone know how to remove the hard plastic panel to get to the wires in the door handle?

Post #6 in the thread below should help you. Fast forward about 10 minutes in.

Thanks Dobie Dog. I didn't see anything in that video that will help me. I was able to get the panel off the door. What I need to do is remove the plastic panel in the picture above that is behind the insulation. I removed the 6 screws and loosened all the large white fasteners. That loosened it some but it was still attached in some areas. I was afraid to force it. I need to get to the wiring behind that panel.

Any luck? I’m in the same boat.

Steps to remove it are shown in the door disassembly instructions on the below link:

I can’t open the link. Anyone have a good link for taking the plastic panel off?
