I know this is stupid but I've never took my front doors off I just don't want to break anything but when I stop etc I hear the doors rattle and can pull the door panel back a little from and I can feel there's a clip out just can't figure how to get it back in.. any help is great thanks

There's 2 screws just under the door handle that are torx star (don't remember the size offhand). Pull those out and then the rest is just plastic panel clips around the outside of the panel. The clips are generally pretty difficult to break unless they've brittled up quite a bit (can happen if it's left in a hot environment a lot). You can use a panel puller to assist with the clips or a plastic wedge but I've always just used my fingers. Once the panel pulls off there will be wires that need to be disconnected from the lock/window switches as well as the tweeter and courtesy lamp. Reassembly is pretty much just the reverse of the above process.

Of course, if you're just looking to stop the panel from rattling you can just bang on the area where the panel feels loose and see if the clip doesn't pop back in tight. If it does, great. If not, you may want to pull the panel and find out what's up.
