Default Rear door panel removal

Happy New Year Everyone!

I need input again. The passenger rear window regulator died and I need to remove the rear
door panel. I have removed the snap in trim piece behind the door handle and the ash tray /
window switch hosing. There are no screws behind them. I realize there will be the ribbed
push in retainers around the perimiter of the panel but there must be a stronger connection for the door handle but I can't find it. I do not just want to start pulling up on the panel in the hopes of releasing some type of connector. The auto store was out of Caddy repair manuals. Once again please help if you can and thanks in the past for the previous help.
Hope you all have a great 2009.
Ken

Default RE: Rear door panel removal

Remove bezel at handle and remove screw. Flip up flap in pull handle opening and remove 2 screws. Remove 2 screws at bottom of door panel. There are 8 push clips to release, then lift up and off. Disconnect cable from door handle. A good door panel removal tool can reduce the chance of damaging trim panel when trying to push clips.
