SOURCE: remove door panel

most door panels have a few screws in them, then after that there are clips that hold it in. you will have to put a little force into pulling and then the door panel will pop off. make sure not to pull all the way away until the locks, power windows and things like that are unhooked from the panel.

SOURCE: front door panel removal

There is a triangular piece, at top corner, covering a screw behind the mirror. Remove that screw. Remove the piece that covers the handle and remove the screw holding the handle to the door. Look through, where door handle was and remove another screw just above where the handle was. This screw is holding the panel to the actual door. Pop the cover off for the automatic door locks and disconnect them. Lift the panel in an upward direction.

2012 grand cherokee how do you remove left front door trim panel
Be careful at what you are doing, because of the wires behind the door, but some where near the door handle ( not the release handle) there should be two small caps, pop those off, remove the screws, and the door panel should pop off easily with a screwdriver.

Door panel
Depends on what door trim you are trying to replace. If you are trying to replace the door trim on the front doors you need to remove two screws from behind the casing around the door handle and then remove a screw from the bottom left of the door and then there will be a screw on the left of the door as high as the arm rest on the door. Finally pull up on the door panel and out to remove the panel. Remove the harnesses and you are complete.

If you are trying to remove the rear doors you need to remove a screw from the bottom of the door again near the left side then remove the screw from behind the casing that surrounds the door handle. Finally pull up on the door panel and out to remove the panel. Remove the harnesses and you are complete.
