i did get the armrest off fairly easily and there are two bolts underneath
that that I removed. I also removed the screw/bolt that is right underneath
the interior door handle. It didn't seem to really make a difference with
those all out. I still couldn't see what the problem was, and I couldn't
get the top half of the door panel removed and it seemed like I was having
to force it and that is not good.

please help me figure this one out as the dealer is quoting me over $200 to
fix it!
