Default Pilot driver's door panel removal

I have ordered the service and electrical manuals but I was not willing to pay $57 for shipping so if someone could clue me as to how to remove the driver's door panel on a 2004 Pilot I would appreciate it. I "lost" the glass and the part it clips to from the drivers side. Dealer parts guy tells me to not pop the part off of the actuator but replace the actuator also (only way it comes) and I need to get to inside end of wires. I have already figured out to pop out the window switch to reveal one of the screws. I am not ready to use the larger hammer approach on this. Thanks.. JD Pickering

it's pretty easy, let me see if I can remember without the Pilot being in front of me...

At the inside door opening lever, pop off the plastic cover, there are two screws there.

Pry up the window controls, disconnect the harnesses and there is one screw there.

Also one screw at the door pull handle

at the bottom of the door panel, start pulling outward until you release the clips that hold the panel to the door.

there is one clip that hold the door opening lever to the pull rod, disconnect that.

at the bottom backside of the panel, there is one harness for the lower light.

push the panel upward to release from the top track and it should come right off.

I believe that is it, it should take no more than 5-10 minutes even if you are very careful.

Default thanks

Thank you all, ready to resume fight in the morning. Windy and hot in Paradise on the Rio. Spring Break time on the Island. Good time for an old man like me to hibernate.
