This guide shows how to remove the front door panel of the Ford Explorer Mk5. The first step is to remove the trim panels in the recesses of the door handle and lock; this reveals two 10 mm bolts to be unscrewed. Remove the trim piece at the mirror attachment and unscrew the two 7 mm bolts at the bottom of the panel.

At this point, starting from the bottom of the vehicle, use a plastic trim tool to detach the clips securing the panel. Remove the piece and disconnect the electric connector of the window regulator.
