Need help with door panel removal! (pics inside)

Yeah, I guess that you can say that Im stuck here.
I have read all the manuals on this that I can find, but my english is not very good, so I have trouble understanding the directions all the way.

Here are some pics to show where I stand at the moment.


This is the door panel,


Theese are the things that I have taken off..


When I (carefully) pull out the panel, the clips on the back side snaps off all around the bottom and the sides of the panel. But it still feels like there is something in this area (where I am pointing) thats holding the panel in place, and I can not figure it out how to go from there.


I read in one of the manuals that I should remove this "micro switch", but I dont really understand how Im supposed to do that?

Can someone please give me a hint or two in this.

open the arm rest door and inside the carpet lining there is a plastic screw but you have to kinda tilt the door back to closing position to see it. it's about at 12:00 position right when you open the armrest door. hope i explained that right

Well, if you know how to do it, its not that hard.


If anyone else is stuck with the same problem, this is the screw that I missed. Its really hard to see it if you dont open the lid up in a certain angle and look "beneath" the lid.


Well, once that I had removed the door panel I had to search for the cause of the rattle for quite a while.
It turned out that it was one of the screws that was holding the speaker-box fastened to the door that had come loose.
Heres a pic.



Then it was a piece of cake to remount tha panel again.
Thanks guys for the help, I really appriciate it.

I just went through this over the weekend. Those are all the screws, and the the panel just gets pulled off. The bowlen cable need to be detached and the two electrical connections around the handle assembly.

Is it possible to remove the "inner" handle just by itself? Or do I have to remove the door panel to get to some of the fittings that hold it in?
Also, can you remove the airbag cover separately? Mine is worn a bit and I wanted to clean it up.
Thanks!

A video if you prefer moving pictures, was helpful when I pulled mine off.
