This is a guide for disassembling the JK front driver side door panel. I have a 2008 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with power windows. The passenger side should have the same procedure. According to the JK service manual, the rear door procedure is very similar except you have to remove the pillar trim panel to disconnect the wire harness.
Position the glass into the down position leaving exposed just enough to grasp. Remove the door wiring connector from under the dash. This is done by removing the small red plastic slider then depressing the back of clip as you pull. Reinsert the red plastic slider; it does not have to be removed to snap the connector back on. If you have manual windows, using a standard window handle tool, release the handle clips and remove the handle.
Remove the pull handle trim plugs (not present on my 2008 Rubicon) and remove the pull handle screws. Remove the two screws near the corner that has the check strap.
