OK, I've GOT to pull the door panel and see what the heck is causing some sort of gunk/adhesive/crap to get on my freshly-tinted driver window every time I roll it down. It's driving me nuts, and I don't have the time/patience to take to take it to the dealership to get looked at.

Can somebody give me the short version of the procedure to pull the door panel so I can check this situation out? Mostly, I need to know if there are any strange fastener types or locations to watch out for. I work on cars all the time for fun, but this is my first attempt on a Fit. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

 

remove the screw behind the door handle
pull on bottom of door panel and pop out clips
this will pop the trim on the arm rest loose, and pull that off
there are like 7 screws behind that that hold on the arm rest and the clip for the wiring for the window and lock

after that, lift up and it'll slide off

i did mine in 5 min the first time, VERY VERY simple

 

Thanks! I'll give that a shot this morning...

 

Worked like a charm, even though it took me a bit longer - trying to be careful as I've only had the car a few weeks now.

Thanks again!
