Anyone knows what to look out for when I remove the driver side panels to access the power windows and such for a TJ?

Thanks for your help in advance :D

Hey man,

Ive got the workshop manual at home if you need to borrow it :)

Should explain in detail how to get em off..

Gimme a call this arvo (after 4ish) if you want to pick it up or whatever..

I have removed mine (powered windows) nurmous times...
1 philips screw in the recessed handel in the arm rest... (use a small flat head to lift up the plastic bung in the bottom of the recess.)

1 philips screw in the round vent at the top front of the panel.

1 philips screw in the behind the door handle ...(lift out handle and then unscrew)

YOU DONT REMOVE THE ELECTRIC SWITCHES... LEAVE THEM IN THE ARM REST!!!!!

Using a smallish flat head screw driver wrapped in a thin cloth.. insert between the panel and the painted door.... gentely lift the panel away from the door to unclip the retaining clips..... there are approx 8 around the edges...

Gently lever the panel away from the door and unclip the two bunches of wires...
Unclip the electric window switches by pressing down the tab on the plug on the harness.
Twist and remove the light bulb holder from the red door curtious light.

Then lift the panel parallel to the door to unlodge the panel from the door.

Reverse to refit.

Thanks TBut, I'll use your tips but Bain0, I'll need to borrow the book to find out where the clips are :D . Don't want to risk breaking any of them...

seriously....you wont...
they are alot stronger in the new er Magnas...
anyway if you carfully slide around the edge you will hit one... they are only 1 cm in from the edge...
it is so easy Booya couls even do it... :D

yeah they are piss easy to take off, I figured it out in 3 mins without any directions, really easy and fast. It would be hard to brake anything if you do it properlly. Just follow Haydn's instructions.

Nick it is so easy you could do this quicker than one of Booys'a gear changes
