door panel removal
anyone have any pics or anything on how to remove both the driver and passenger door panel?
I'd assume its easy and straight forward, but my car isnt here with me for me to check it out.
thanks all

Door panel removal
Biggest problem with removing the door panel is trying not to break the slots on the panel which hold the push ins. You need to take pains working the male part out of the female part with a removal tool. A new door panel is pretty expensive.

My problem was pulling the connector out of the fiberglass door itself. Many of them chipped the edge of the hole. It can be done but be prepared if you blow out the hole in the fiberglass.
FYI: I know its not "really" fiberglass.
