Door Panel Removal
Does anybody have experiance with removing the interior door panels on a C5? I want to repaint the door speaker grills. Can the grills come off with out removing the whole panel? Is there a faster easier way, or anything I should watch for and be careful not to break ect? I already bought the interior paint from Mid America, and have tried to pry n pull the grills off, thinking there would be some clips. No luck so far. I haven't found any how-to's or diagrams on the net. Any information would be appreicated thanks.

Ken was the best - and everything he did was quality, from the materials he used for his interiors to his workmanship, to the instructions he made available to all of us, his customer service and most of all his love for the Corvette community.As far as pulling the panels - make it easy on yourself and go to your local parts department and buy a handful of the plastic panel clips. They are about $1 a piece, and you won't be frustrated when you break a couple of them. They really were designed for once in and out. If you pull them and break one, that's to be expected.
