Removing door panel

Does anyone have a tip on removing the door panel on a 1990 Corvette.

I have removed all the visible screws but there is still something preventing me from getting the door panel off. There appears to be something down by the slide for the door lock that is still fastened together. I am working on the passenger door but will do the drivers side next.

If it's the same as an '88, there should be a screw right in the middle of where the handle is. There's also one in the outer edge, and around 6 at the bottom, as well as 2 in the actual handle.

You need to pry the plastic door lock off. Under it is another screw.

Thanks Jimmers. Found the screw hidden under the lock. Have now completed installing the outer window seals.

Be sure and disconnect your negative battery terminal first. Between the interior/courtesy lamps, PDL and PW switches, you can **** up something electrical real fast.
