Door rattle- panel removal?

I took my car to a staffed carwash- usually very good. They must have slammed the drivers door hard enough to knock somthing loose inside it.

Not bad, but a new rattle with closing it. Passenger door- healthy clunk, like the drivers door was this morning. Drivers door- rattle. I can reproduce it by lightly banging on the fabric trim above the arm rest.

Anyone know how to get the door panel off? Without breaking anything? I'm not a stereo guy, or a regular panel puller offer, but I'm not stupid either. Help?

I see three latches under the armrest, and one screw in the door handle. No other screws, latches, fixtures found.

Any experience pulling the panel off? Those with a shop manual?

Thanks.

I'd rather fix it myself. No chance it will get done wrong (including the dealership service department).

Anyone know how?

Make sure you click on the "Service Manual" link. A big online manual for the Jazz that may help our Fit service questions also.

(Probably the same one that we have downloaded but useful for slower
modems.)

I am having trouble getting any illustrations or photos from that site service manual. (I tried Mac OS and PC - all I get is a little grey button.) Anybody else actually see pictures?

What is the link to the full download, willmax11?

Tubaman;

Do an "Advanced Search" from the Search button for "Service Manual".
I think there were 3 discussions about the download, don't know which is still
active.
