Hi guys,
Anyone know how to remove the inner door panel on my ST? I've removed the outer, turned all of the 1/4 turn fasteners on the inner liner and have felt them release, but the top center of the panel will not come off. I don't want to put too much force on it and break it. Any ideas? Trying to install some Stinger sound deadening material on the inner door skins. thanks in advance

Two bolts in the handle come out. Behind the cover. Then pull out the bottom and push up.

The glass has to be released. I just reached in from the bottom and released the tabs…tape the window up first so it doesn’t fall.

Thanks Unbroken, when i was reading your post about sound deadening i saw the glass taped up in the pics but didn’t think anything about it. Do release ang fall back into place relatively easy?

Yea it literally just snaps into the track in two spots. Took me a while to see it but was super easy once I did.

Sorry, thought you were talking outer panel. The inner panel is a little confusing at first but once you do the glass you will realize it’s pretty simple. Not a huge fan of the two plastic tabs driving the window up and down but many use that design and you don’t really hear about them breaking.
