Repair & Advice
This video will provide the key steps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deXRiiEjylg
If you do not have a custom outer panel, then the fist step will not be necessary and you can proceed to removing the outer door panel. It will be easier if you can get another person to assist with reinstalling the door panel.
