Not Valk Related, but it's parked next to my Valk.
I need to pull the door panel on my 2004  4-Runner. I can't seem to find any fastners and don't want to damage it by pullin and prying. Anyone with a little knowledge on this?
 I  posted on a 4-runner board with no success :-\

Don't know on your car...but most newer ones have pop-in fasteners.  I have a little forked tool that slips between the door and the panel at the fastener that allows you to pry right at the fastener.  It lessens the chances of you breaking the fasteners.  You should be able to find these tools at your local auto shop. 

Otherwise just pry away but try to pry near the fasteners.

There is one screw in the door handle/release and at the top front of the door take the interior light out plus the tweeter and window switches there are snaps at the bottom of the door and then the door should come off by sliding up. Just check also that there is not a screw in the door pull. You may have to pry a bit at the bottom edge of the door do it gently and take a look under the panel you should see the snaps that hold the bottom panel on. It was a beautiful ride into work on my Valk this morning and before I start work I think I will wax the tank so now its Valk related.
