Default Door Panel Removal

Plan on taking off door panels to install Dynamat Extreme. Does anyone where all screws and clips are? What about electrical connections and any other obstacles? Can Dynamat be installed on inner trunk panels? Asking so I do not break anything.

Thanks,
Adam

Go to http://www.VetteEssentials.com and look on the Installation Instructions page. There's a procedure for installing door pulls that explains how to remove the door panels. It's pretty easy to do. :cheers:

Mike

There are 2 screws (torx screws) under the handles under a lil piece of plastic. Those are the only screws. he rest is those pesky lil plastic push/lock pins or what ever you want to call them. Just pull gently around the bottom of the door and work your way up, the top of the door panel is secured by a lip type seal and comes right up when you have all teh pins or tabs pulled out. The only plug connectoers are the ones to the window easy to reach once you pull the door off. I need to replace half my white plastic clips most of them broke when pulling the panel off. BTW it makes one hell of a sound when pulling, like something is breaking, its not a sound i liked very much when i started to pull mine. Good Luck
