Door Panel Help Please

I'm taking my door apart to fix the power locks. But now i've decided to make all new door panels. The Problem is that i can't get that black piece of trim off of the top of the door. My haynes book doesn't say how either. Thanks for any help.

To remove the trim piece "push out & up " and
to reinstall the reverse.

put your window all the way down. Push down and in on the plastic and try and lift from the edge,it should just lift right up then...

window down and wiggle it up...carefully. Although you can kinda ignore the carefully part, those panels are a dime a dozen, at least in PA anyway.
