Headlight Buzzer (when you leave the lights on)

[moniker]

Once I've got the door trim off, removed the 10 or so bolts holding the silver bit on, then removed the 3 screws that hold the window motor on, how do I then remove this panel to actually get inside the door?
It looks to me something else is holding the panel to the window mechanism.

Do I just need to wind the window down first or ??

The link provided earlier was helpful but there seems to be a trick they don't mention...

Have you unbolted the glass from the window regulator?

You access the bolts through the two big round rubber plugs at the top of the panel. Window may need winding down slightly so bolts are accessable.

Then you push the glass up and tape or wedge it in place (so it doesnt fall into door!)

No I did not !
I did pop the grommets out and had a quick peek in there but that's about it
Thanks Grahame - I'll try next weekend...

Sounds like a rainy day job to me, or I will put up with it.!

There is no need to remove the widow motor.
Take out the window after loosening the 2 bolts, unclip the cable for outer door handle, remove the spline bolts to lock mechanism.
Unplug everything and remove the 10x10mm bolts and out comes the big metal sheet.

I would highly recommend that you replace the window regulator clips while you have it all apart too.
