Don't forget the 2 philips screws on both ends of the door. The lower part of the door. It holds the bottom of the panel on. The tool for the clips for the door lock and the window crank
( if it's not power window) can be bought at an auto parts store.

Hello,
Is the window crank removal tool required if you have power windows?
Thanks,
Terry

You should do yourself a Hugh favor and spend some time looking at pictures and how to instructions, it easy to break things and in most cases the restoration parts are the same. Buy a Chevrolet Service Manual for your model year, also get a bunch of vendor catalogs, they have very good illustrations and will help you see how assemblies are put together.
