Yup....there's a c-clip style (metal) clip right behind the door handle.
Use something to wedge in between the door handle and panel (not too much
though) and you'll see it. I use the tool for them but you can use a small
hook as well to grab it. Once that's off, everything is just a few screws
and lift the panel off.

Hey, DML...
Good news:
DAKSY passed inspection for another year...
Bad news:
Went to roll the window down the other evening & because of the fluctuating
temps here in the Great White NE, the window must've frozen to the weather
strip & the glass separated from the track...I think...
Ennyhoo, I got the Bible out & to get the inner door panel off you have to
remove the window crank...the Bible shows a special slotted tool to perform
this function, but I figger a flat bar will do the same...no luck...I can't
be quite sure, but there looks like there might be a retainer clip under the
crank handle...Can anyone verify this? I don't wanna MAHTZO anything by
exerting too much pressure, especially since it's balmy 12 deg F outside &
any plastic components will be brittle..
The Bible also shows a screw behind the door lock button at the aft top of
the panel...How the HELL does the button come of the rod?
Again, I don't wanna MAHTZO the damn thing...
Anybody been in the door of a GEN III got any pointers? Bernd? Rascal?
Anybody?
HAYELP!
