I have been trying to get the door panel off for over 2 hours at this point, and I can't get it completely off. I've gotten every single plastic clip around the door, the metal ones on top, and the two screws (airbag and door jam), but I can't for the life of me get the big metal clip in the center thats attached to the stamped steel support bracket of the door panel. I've tried every combination of pulling towards me, pulling up, giving it a slow, hard pull, giving it quick jerks, nothing works. When pulling up to try and slide out the plastic piece from where it sits in the metal bracket on the inside of the door panel, the speaker catches and i can't remove it. I even noticed I gouged a bit of my tweeter wiring insulation trying to remove it. (no big deal, im trying to replace the speakers anyways). I've gotten this same panel off before with no issues, and I'm afraid if I keep pulling I'm going to split my door panel or snap one of the rivets holding the clip to the door frame (i think one of them is already loose, maybe it's just the play in the door frame). I checked to see if I could remove all the bolts holding the support bracket in place since that's what the clip anchors to, but there's no way that I can get to them with the door panel on.

 

It's just a couple screws and those clips. Should come right off. Can you provide a photo?

 

You have to pull straight out on the panel to disconnect that metal clip (guessing the "tabs" can get misaligned and be harder to remove).

(start at the 3:00 point for your issue)...
