Once the door panel is off you ll need to remove the door speaker by unbolting it and then unclipping it from the wire harness see figure 4. Slide the looooong screwdriver in there and start prying it out. If you look at the actuator you will see it is slid up against a metal plate.

You ll also want to remove the factory water shield plastic that runs along the door panel and the trim that runs along the top of the window see figures 5 and 6. Remove the door handle by unclipping it from the door panel on the rear side of the panel then slide it through the panel.
