Front Door panel removal CR-V 1997-2000

[pizza_boy]

Hi guys,
anyone had experience removing one for CR-V?
Everything same as on my old civic and integra, but can't remove inner door handle. On previous cars handle stays on same place after panel removal, as you have to remove handle cover.
Had a closer look here, looks like they are same part...
nothing in service manual i have.:confused:

think you may have to pry out the window control trim, not sure I haven't touched one in ages but I think that was the general way to go about.. should have 2 screws underneath... I think someone confirm before he fuc*s his trims?

I could lift up a panel a bit to check out what's on other side, but trim looks pretty solid with no screws. There are couple of screws for armrest though...

Made an attempt to lift the trim around handle, but it's all glued up...

bloody technology, loved my old simple little civic... :rolleyes:

p.s. will have to wait till next weekend anyway now....
