Click on Techinfo at the top of the page and search for "door". Instructions for both the front and rear dorrs are included there.

just be very careful when lift the panel off, lift it straight up from one side to another, if you pull it forward it will will rip the panel off it' top frame, i kno from experience

I am a maintenance tech for a company that makes door panels for BMW and GM (saturn) They are very week and are expensive to replace. I've been told, we sell our Z3 door panels with leather trim to the BMW factory at around $300 a set. I don't want to know what the dealer charges You'd think I would be a expert on door panels but, I fix the machines that make them
