Mazda Miata: Removing door panel 2000 Miata

It's no big deal. Autozone (and others have a nifty crow's foot tool that
helps.
There are some concealed screws. One is under the little hunk of rug in the
inside door pull the door closed slot, and the other is under the inside
door latch. The majority of retainers are the plastic type that you pop
loose with the crowsfoot tool. The 99 and the 2000 are the same. The door
latch can be twisted and fed thru the hole as you remove and install the
panel. If you have manual windows, the handle will need to be removed, again
using a window crank tool from your frendly auto parts store. Remember which
way the handle pointed when you removed it.

Thanks, Just went out and found the two concealed screws you mentioned.
There also appear to be two little plastic studs on the rear edge of
the panel (where it wraps around into the door opening). I see I can
pry the center of those out with my fingernails, and then the whole stud
withdraws. What about the little tweeter panel in the upper forward
part of the door. Does it remain in place or does it need to come off too?
