thats part of the door panel, you hafta take the entire panel off first. The black plastic peice with the window controls pop out, and then you gotta take off the screw behind the door open lever and theres another screw behind the handle by the door pocket. And then you gotta pop out the speakers by the A pillar. After that you should be able to remove the interior panel by pulling it out

I removed those three screws, disconnected the power window/locks piece and removed the bose tweeter and this thing wont even budge what else do I have to do? here is a pic of the progress

There are a bunch of tabs that go around the edges of the door, stick a butter knife or something flat and not sharp on the outside of the panel and pry it from the door, just be careful. There is a picture a couple posts down in this thread that shows ou where the tabs are:

once you get the tabs off it will seem like it is just hanging from the top by the window, just lift up from the back and it will come off.

you might have to go buy some more of those tabs when you take it off. i took mine off the other day and 2 of them broke.
