seriously though. will be the best 14 bucks you EVER spent. I've already refereed to mine probably 20 times to do stuff. Very nice pictures.
I've taken mine off to replace the door speakers cuz one was blown and it was really easy. Of course mine i manual windows too, is yours?

Removing the door panel with power windows and power door locks is easier than the manual ones since you don't have to monkey round with removing the door handle.
From what I remember there is 1 screw behind the door handle, 1 in the sail pillar (top front), 3-4 on the very bottom edge and I think one somewhere else in the middle probably around the arm rest. The panel pulls off leaving the power controls on the door. Mine didn't have the Infinity stereo, so watch the speaker wires for the tweeter, might be attached to the door panel.

Just as a note pull the panel upwards. Then you will need to disconnect the plastic clip that is attached to the metal rod for door leaver. This should pretty much give you a little more room to disconnect the harness from the lock/window switch.
Power mirror control (if this is the round one right inside the driver’s side mirror):
Pull the knob off, and then there is a retaining bolt (probably hand tight) behind it that needs to be unscrewed.
This is all easier than it sounds.
Rear panels on an extended cab (I'm going at this from memory so bare with me). If anyone sees anything that I missed or is wrong go ahead and speak up.
1. Remove the panel right below the back window, Should pull off.
2. Remove the screws holding the rear back support pad up. Now the pad should lift up so it can be removed.
3. There may be some screws that are holding the rear side panels on under the rear back support.
4. Remove the covers from the seat belts so that the bolt holding them up can be removed (this is a torque head).
5. Look for anymore remaining screws that may be holding them in place.
6. Open the rear side windows.
7. Now you should be able to pull it out. Pull the top area towards the inside to try and release any clips that may be holding. Then pull forward to release any remaining clips.
8. Work the rear seat belt out and behind the panel in this process. The rear seat doesn’t need to be released.
Hopefully the panel should be out with exception of where the front seat belt runs through at the bottom, but this should give you enough slack to be able to set the panel outside without having to disconnect the front seat belt completely.
