My right rear door panel became loose when my grandaughter slammed the door. It is real loose where the panel is supposed to be close to the window. I tried removing the panel to put it back on correctly but have had no succes. I cant find any screws or clip. Can you help?
Thanks Phil

you will probably have to remove the panel completely to put it back on. normally the top goes on first.

there will be plastic clips along the front and rear edge and the bottom. those you can just "pop" away from the door. but there are going to be some screws also.

look for the screws, they may be hiding under little covers that pop closed probably (about the size of a dime or maybe a little bit smaller)

there's going to be screws where you pull the door shut also, be it a hole in the arm rest or a grab handle or a strap. there will something there to firmly attach the handle to the metal part of the door.

good luck
