door panel removal---help

How do I remove the door panel on a 94 coupe? I am attempting to replace the outer upper on the doors. I cannot seem to get the door panel loose. I removed the screw behind the door handle... Something still has hold of the panel.

There is a screw behind the light, 2 inside the small plastic piece on the armrest and one behind the plastic door lock lever (the part that you push left/right with your finger.

hope that helps

I've removed my panels many, many times. Be VERY careful, even after doing it many times it is easy to forget to remove a screw, and the plastic panel cracks very easy with age.

Another question about that certain screw...

Thanks a million guys!! That is good to know... Now here is another question for you. The little slide indictator? aka the thing with the white diagonal striping. How do I get to the screw behind it?? DRDSN, it looks like you removed it to get to the screw?

Dang, GM can hide this screw but they can't design a door panel that will fit tightly and not flop around???
