SOURCE: How do you remove Tailgate interior PANEL on Ford
Remove the 2 bolts from handle, #2 from picture. Remove 2 screws from either side of door pane(#4) now just the clips hold it on, pull panel off at one corner and work your way around until its completely removed.
Thank you and good luck,
Lee

Pretty simple actually. Sounds retarded but here ya go:
Unscrew all the screws visible. This includes the armrest if applicable.
Get a tool from your local auto parts store that looks like a small pry bar that has a little slot in the middle. it almost looks like the weed puller you use to remove dandelions. Seriously...you'll know it when you see it. This thing is a gem and works on ALL door panels. Slip it inbetween the door panel and the metal part of the door and start popping out the panel. You really want to get behind the plastic fastners if you can. Once you get to panel loose, you want to detach any electrical connectors from the door panel switches.
After that, use a little force to work it upwards to clear the door itself. the seal that is butted up against the glass is sometimes tight.
Do what you need to do and installation is in reverse order.
By the way, that tool is less than $10.00!
Good luck and post if you have any problems.

Pop the small triangle panel off at the front of the door, by the side mirror and remove the screw. Then remove the red and white lens at the bottom of the door and remove that screw. Lastly pop off the plastic insert by the inside door handle and remove the door hande using a rachet and extension, dont remember the size of bolt. Once that is off the door panel should lift straigt up after that. There are none of the plastic tabs that are secured to the door panel that get inserted to the door frame like other cars.

I just want to know if there is any manual to disarm the lift gate and check for the problem. Currently my door is lock and cant open, how you force it to open?
