What year car do you have? If its 99+ then there is a series of screws in the golf ball pitted areas of the doors. These pop off with some force. Phillips head screws are inside of these. Then the door should snap off, be sure to take the plastic piece off where the mirrors at. I dont know the technical term for it. Im sorry.. You have to unscrew the door handle and twist it and slide it through the hole in the door. For electric windows pop the switch housing up and unhook the wires. For roll up windows you need to pop the C clip off of the handle and pull it off.This is easiest using a thin towel, slide it between the door and the handle and go back and forth with it until the C clip pops off. Use a screw driver or something to wedge in between the door and the cover and pop it off. If its too difficult look for more screws! Hope this helps!
