How does one remove CRV rear door panel

SOURCE: need to remove inner rear passenger side door

On the inside trim, you can remove screws (these screws may be covered by filler pieces or may be visible, or they may require you pry a plastic piece off that covers the screws) that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you need to pull back the weather seal and then you can access the bolts securing the outer handle

Assuming the door will open, look for screws in the grip openings in the armrests (some may be concealed behind plastic plugs which your carefully pry out.

The bulk of the panell attachment is by means of plastic mushrooms which snap into sockets in the body of the door. These mushrooms remain attached to the door panell.

There will also be actuator rods clipped to the interior release and lock, carefully unclip these while minding their position for reassembly.

Hello Mel.
Some of these can be a pain. We all need small hands to work in some places.
Here is the list in the manual.
Front Door Outer Handle Replacement

NOTE: Put on gloves to protect your hands.

1. Remove these items:

• Door panel
• Plastic cover, as necessary

1. Raise the glass fully.

1. While pulling the outer handle (A), remove the handle from the holes in the door panel. Take care not to scratch the door.
2. Install the handle in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

• Make sure the cylinder switch harness is routed properly.
• Make sure the connector is plugged in properly, and each rod is connected securely.
• Make sure the door locks and opens properly.
• When installing the lock cylinder, leave the outer door handle bolts loose so the inner protector does not interfere with the lock cylinder installation, then tighten the handle bolts.
• Install the lock cylinder retaining clip on the handle, then install the lock cylinder. Be sure the clip is fully seated in the slot on the lock cylinder.
• When reinstalling the door panel, make sure the plastic cover is installed properly and sealed around its perimeter.
• Do the power window control unit reset procedure.
