Door panel removal?

[OuterJersey]

Has anyone taken off a front door panel? Is it difficult? I put my plastic yearly town parking pass in the rubber of the side door so I wouldn’t forget to hang it up. Guess what happened when I opened the door? You can’t make this shit up. Will try to get a replacement but I may have to get it out somehow. Thank you in advance.

I didn't even notice that. That is interesting because these type of pictures in the workshop manual are usually pretty accurate.

I'm trying to remove the front passenger door panel to insert capture nuts where the netting goes. I've looked at the diagrams. Removed the bottom three bolts that hold it in hoping to just squeeze my hand up behind the netting panel. I have Inserted a plastic scraper and start tugging but that thing doesn't want to budge. I'm afraid to use too much force and break something. Is there something I'm missing? Several inches up from the bottom on the forward edge of the panel is a large rectangular hole with a white disc and a piece of spring steel above it. I'm wondering if that's some type of body panel plug that I need to pull out. I would have thought it would have been mentioned in the diagram above. Any help or advice would sure would be appreciated.

I haven’t had one off, so I won’t be much help. I would just follow the instructions, take the few extra minutes and remove the whole trim panel instead of trying to sneak in there. That way nothing gets broken.

Thanks... U tube to the rescue. I removed all the screws and instead of prying grabbed both sides at the bottom and it popped right off. Only owned the bronco a week and still a bit shy trying not to damage anything doing mods

Ducati, any chance you could post the same as above, but for the rear doors?
