Hmmmm, found some page where this guys explains how to pull the panels to paint the side mirrors......
To start off the first thing you are going to need to do is remove the door panel. For those of you who do not know how to I am going to explain. If you have power windows you are in luck, if not it is ok it just makes the job a little bit harder. The first thing you need to do is remove the door handle section. To do this all that is needed is the removal of two phillips head screws. These screws are located behind the two covers on the handle section(you can't miss them, they simply pop off). Once this is removed the door handle simply pulls off. If you have power windows or door locks simply disconnect the connector and it comes off. If you do not have the power window option you need to remove the handle to the window next. This is held on by a metal clip that pops off with a flat head screw driver. I must let you know ahead of time that it is not that easy to take off but it can be done. Once those two pieces have been removed the next step is to remove the entire door panel. This can be done by removing the two screw clips on the end of the door as well as the two at the begining of the door. Once these are removed you need to pop the plastic clips out of the door frame. I know this sounds confusing but let me explain. On the back of the door panel there are plastic clips. These plastic clips are snapped into the door itself and therfore helps hold the panel on. In certain cases these are easy to snap out however in a majority of cases it isn't easy to remove. All that is needed for those stubborn snaps is a flat head screw driver. Simply insert behind the rubber seal and pry. Be careful around the area that has the cubby hole. It has a tendancy to stick so just insert the screwdriver behind the center of it and then pry back. Once the snaps are removed the door panel is ready to come off. It simply slides up until it is over the door lock then can be taken off.
