S80, S60 V70 (2001) Door Panel Removal

To remove the door panel, I usually have the window down, start with the cover just aft of the window switches, pry it off with a small screwdriver. Remove the 25 torx screw behind the cover. Next take off the plastic cover up by the mirror, it is held in with three stand off clips, try to get into the center before prying out, don't pry on the edges.

Around the door you will find these clips holding the panel in place, to release the clips, push on the center with a small punch or pocket screw driver, they will snap in about ¼ of an inch, once you have all of then snapped in gently pry out on panel, watch it the clip will want to fly out and you'll loose them. To put the clips back in pull the centerpiece out insert the clip and push the center in until flush, it will click. The trim around the door handle will pop out when you have all the clips out and grab hold of the bottom and pull back, a short snapping jerk. You could also work it off if you have a small plastic (bone) pry bar, either way it usually snaps off. Once all the items are off the door you can push up on the bottom with it pulled out a bit, and the top of the panel will come out of the rubber channel at the top. Once out of the top keep a good hold of it cause there are a lot of connectors you need to disconnect, it will be obvious.
