I've freed the panel around the inside edges, but something is holding the door by the handle. Whats holding it in and how do i free it up on a 99 accord.

I'm assuming that you either missed a screw underneath the armrest (goes through the armrest and looks as if it holds the armrest to the door but it doesn't...) or there is just a plastic clip there.... Most likely there is a screw that goes down inside the "hand hold" in the door and has a plastic piece in there that needs to be popped out then the screw removed... can you take some pictures if this doesn't work?

I took some pics but the files are too big to send over this program. Do you have e-mail account beside this one. this one only allows 500k. My pics are 1m and greater.

alright I'm guessing that your door handle is the hangup... what you need to do is pull that door handle out slightly and you'll notice two things, one there is a metal piece that goes into the handle (that opens the door) on the inside and is held in place by a clip, remove that and disconnect the power wires going to your door lock switch...
I'm almost positive that's what you're fighting...
Option 2: that door handle (with the power lock switch) will rotate slightly and slip through the door panel if you like... then lift the panel up/off while sliding it through.
