In this video, you will see how to remove and replace the door panel cover on a Ford Escape. Start by removing the inner handle with a screwdriver.

Once the plastic cover is removed, you can now pull the vinyl (glued to the panel) towards you. Check if the sound-deadening material is still well positioned and intact, then clean it with a cloth dampened with liquid. Also, clean the panel that you will be installing.

Now, apply glue to the panel itself and proceed to reassemble it in its original position.
