    Would someone please tell me how to step-by-step remove the passenger front door panel on a 2010 Prius without doing any damage? Thank you.

    The technical sub-forum will be probably better for this kind of question.

    Don't worry too much about the damage. the plastics are quite durable. Use the plastic clip/molding remover. Usually when you insert the plastic remover between parts, you will see where to pull. Toyota recommends to disconnect the '-' (black) pole of the battery in the cargo area usually, but it is not a must if you are far away from the airbag locations.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
