Default Door Panels

Was thinking about purchasing Dynamat Xtreme myself and installing it in the door panels on each side. I have a ton of rattle from the bass. I called a local car customization shop and they quoted me $400 for materials and $400 for labor, so I decided to try it myself. How easy is it to take apart the door panels on a C7? Any videos on how to do it or anything tricky I should know about before attempting?

There's been posts about removing the door panel. Do a search and you should find it. The rattle has been posted on before too. Seems like the door outer skin is very close to a crash bar inside the door. The skin can rattle against the bar, the fix is to place a pad between the two. Good luck with it!
