Opening up front door panel

[GabL]

Hi, anyone has the instruction as of how to open up the front door panel? My tinter fuck up the door lock, I want to open it and try to fix it myself. I assume it's some kinked cable or rod, whichever the Yaris is using for door lock. Thanks!

Usually most door panels have a few screws and the rest are plastic pops.

The screws are typically in these spots:
1. Door release handle (behind the handle...so pull the handle as if you are opening the door and look behind it)
2. Door handle/frame

Once you feel like you've all the screws out...

go to the bottom edge of the door as I think it's easiest.
Gently but firmly pull the door panel away from the door frame
If you look, you should see a bunch of white pop fasteners. These are held in by friction only.

They actually look a lot like small butt plugs...and if you've ever used on on your gf's ass, they pop in an out just like that. Even the sound is kind of the same if you have the right gf.

Continue around the whole door until all the pops are released. There may also be a few near the center of the panel.
