to remove the doors all you have to do is find all the screws around the door not really sure how many there actually are should be around I wanna say 8-10 the Phillips head screws. depending on if anyone has ever taking your door off or not they are hidden by this lil plastic cap thats should be the same color as your door. there lil circles just pop it off with a flat head screw driver, not sure if you can get those plastic caps back on. once all the screws are off just pull and it'll pop off. just don't pull to hard but it should just snap right off. hope that helps.

thanks for the reply, but i knew how to take the door panels off, i just didnt know if the DOOR HANDELS poped off or not, i went to a junk yard and poped em off, but they were like glued in, i guess what im asking is if i pop them off can i use screws and screw the door handles back onto the door panel or should i just tape the panel and paint the door handel while its still intact with the door panels, thanks again tho, later

im not sure on a laser how exactly they would come off....my buddys wife has a laser i could ask him...but for example on my car there was a screw on the inside right behind the door handle that you unscrew and then it comes off just by sliding it back towards you...look for screws ...if there are none and it actually IS glued...if there is something behind the door handle like a bar or something you can probably screw a screw in there and secure it but if not then it will just go through and wouldnt hold to anything...and then you will be forced to glue it back...i would say just tape it off and try to paint it...if you dont want to go through the hassle of glueing it back on or totally messing up your door handle...

Pretty simple...

When you remove all the screws and you go to pull the panels off on the drive side their is a kinda cup plastic where you grag to close the door. First take the 2 screws in the bottom of that off. You have to pull that out to get the drivers side door off. After that there will be 3 screws holding the windows buttons onto the door. Remove those and those will allow for the window controls to come off. You also have 2 screws holding on the mirror control remove those. The black trim piece depending on the model will either be held on by plastic tabs. Or 4 screws. Hopefully screws. On the passenger side its simple. The window controls are on the the black piece. Take them out put the window switch wire and your good to go.

You can pop them off which is what I had to do but when you put the back on theres a little space. I hot glued them back on to be sure.
