Hi

Trying to assess damage caused by attempted break in. Have removed interior trim & now faced with metal panel. Have removed all visibly bolts & can prise edge away by half inch but cannot get panel off. Anybody know what's holding it?

Cheers

Sorry.

It's on '02 & it's the front doors. It has central locking & electric windows.

Thanks

On those; you'll have to release the window-glass to regulator brackets, the door catch and the external lock/handle assembly. A right fiddle to re-fit too.
