How do you remove the door panels on a 2001 Mazda Tribute?

1. Remove the door handle bezel. This is the trim piece around the door handle. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry it up, starting from the bottom.

2. Remove the screws holding the door panel in place. There are three screws located under the door handle bezel and one located behind the door latch.

3. Gently pry the door panel up. Start from the bottom of the panel and work your way up. Use a pry tool or flat-head screwdriver to help you.

4. Disconnect the electrical connections. There are two electrical connections that need to be disconnected: the power window switch and the door lock switch.

5. Remove the door panel. Once the electrical connections are disconnected, you can remove the door panel by lifting it up and off the door.

Here are some additional tips for removing the door panels on a 2001 Mazda Tribute:

* Be careful not to damage the door panel or the electrical connections.

* If you have any questions, consult a professional.
