Door panel removal.
Millenia S 1995, passenger side door, I need to remove the tan door panel, white mirror and the white door handle assembly. Does anyone have removal directions or maybe a break down diagram for the door. Many thanks...

RE: Door panel removal.
Does this mean good news that you have located a door a bit closer to home Captn??
Some pics at the bottom give a location of screws clips etc.
Start by removing the sail garnish trim on the inside of where the outer mirror is located by pulling straight toward you.
Next pull the inner handle trim straight out while holding the handle as if to open door.
Three screws out as shown in first pic.
Now pull the edges of the door straight toward you to release all of the snap in clips marked 'A' as shown in the second pic.
DO NOT pull on the pull assist handle or panel will break.
Once the 'A' clips are released then slide the door panel straight up approx 1-2 inches to release the pull handle retainers. These retainers are shown in third pic. They attach to the door very solid and trying to release them by pulling trim out towards you will break things which I am sure you do not want to do.
Disconnect electrical connectors and door panel is off.
You will then want to remove the two stubborn metal clips from doortrim and transfer to the new door sheetmeal panel in the orientation shown on next two pics. First shows how to remove from trim and second shows orientation.
Outer mirror has three attaching screws that will be self explanatory when sail garnish is removed.
Same with outer handle. Disconnect the lock and handle rods from it, remove the two 10mm nuts that hold handle end and pull out from the outside. You may need to remove the lock cylilnder in order gain enough clearance for removal.
Good luck Captn.
