Default Need some help

Hi guys, I'm a newbie. My name is Bill and I've just taken possession of a '96 coupe. I need some help on the correct way to remove the inner door panel retaining pins on the inside bottom of the door. When I received the car, the top part of the inner door panel had been pulled on over the alignment channel inside the door. I'd like to release it from the bottom, slide it back over on top and replace the retaining pins on the bottom. Sound right? I got one pin out by twisting/pulling, but I'm sure there's a better way.

Thank you,

Bill

BTW, sorry for the naivete, but what does "Bump" and "TTT" mean?

"Bump and TTT", to the top basically mean the same thing. If a post hasn't recieved a reply after a time...you can "BumP" it or "TTT" and the post will now be seen at the top of the forum, otherwise, if noone replies, it just fades away.

Don't know about your initial question

Tiny, I think you answered my question with:

"... It is time for the little plastic rivets along the bottom of the door. I was able to tug on bottom of the panel and they just popped out.

Thank you,

Bill
