[MikeyD]

Are you talking about the screw under the textured foam on the armrest portion? Just peel up the foam.

?? ok if u say so


someone help me out. my camera is being gay so i cant take pictures. But if your looking at the door im trying to totally remove the cheap cloth/foam right under where the littler hand bar is. The bar that runs from up to down that is about 8 inches long for people to grasp it if the feel the need i guess. But do i try to take out the foam under that. Some one please help...

 

[dawgdan]

N/M, you have an '06. Oops.

Did you try the search function? This took me all of 45 seconds to find.

I assume you're talking about the grab bar for the passenger to close the door? The driver's door is the only one that doesn't have this handle. The two rear doors have this handle as well. If so, there are two big screws/bolts under the painted, hard plastic cover of that handle, one each at the top and bottom. You have to carefully pry off the hard cover to get to the two big screws/bolts.

I wrote up a short explanation here:

It's for the rear doors, but the process is identical for the front passenger door except for two additional details, the screw in the courtesy light, and the tweeter assembly (which I believe you've already removed).

Make note of the clips. If the bend or chunks break off they will rattle when reinstalled. Get some new replacements just in case. They're only a dollar or so each.
