Removing door panel from 84
Ok I know there are a couple of videos on how to do this on youtube, but neither ones is exactly the same as my 84. And they both do it a little differently. One person takes the screws out of the lock bezel area and the other one just leaves them in.
I only need to reach in enough to put a new rods clip in and put the rod back that fell out.
So, on the 84 is there a screw under the light? Is there one under the lock slide? Should I have the lock slide in lock or unlock position before I pry it out?
Also, my battery terminal bolts are not in good shape, and would like to avoid taking them off more than necessary right now. Can I just remove a few fuses to make it safe to do this?
P.S.is there a right and left clip?

The big difference in the years seems to be the screw in the handle/lock bezel. One youtube video the guy took the panel off without removing them I think. I guess I will see.
On my 84 the battery terminal bolts are captive how do you get them out I thought I would have to replace both cables.
