Rear door disassembly?

[chrismc]

We had a hot chocolate incident on the way back from skiing today, and after thorough cleanup it is still dripping from within the rear door interior panels. Does anyone know how to disassemble the rear door interior to get it cleaned out? I can only find one t25 bolt in the bottom of the storage pocket and no obvious places where there are body clips to pop off. This thing is remarkably solidly built!

Munro assoc videos? Haven't watched all of them but they did disassemble a R1T.
Or just leave the door open until it stops dripping?

I disassembled my front door. Have have done other doors panels from newer vehicles so i have a slight understanding on how they work. I could help but I can attest it wasn't fun nor easy.

There are some push panels that you have to pry up to find hidden fasteners

This is milk and sugar, I don’t particularly want it caked inside the door, dry or not. Kids….

Ugh, that does look daunting and wasn’t the easy answer I was hoping for. My prior experience tearing down interiors has been mostly Jeeps, and the R1T is clearly not the same cheap plastic construction.

This was helpful for me when I removed the front panel. Probably some similarities with the rear.

I didn't find it that daunting, but I've removed a variety of door panels before.

Thanks! That looks potentially helpful, I’ll post back after I take another stab at it.
