removing door panel in an 05 mcs
i got my 05 mcs a month ago and i'm trying to fix the rattle in the front speaker. seems like a handle cushion is blocking one of the torx screws to the door. any ideas on how to get to this screw?

You need to slide a plastic wedge in to push a hidden clip - it then slides off

I don't have my 05 just yet, but you just saved me a lot of time, mikeythemini! I was wondering about that screw. Thanks for the pics!

Be sure to put some masking tape over the door handle where you will slide the lever, as the paint is easily scratched.
