I’m ready to remove the doors. How do I release the wire harness ?

^The purple thing clicks down and folds down from the top to the middle, then the whole harness easily pulls out.

What should I do with the a pillar. The panel is wedged underneath it. The panel is glued to the body in that area. I cannot just pull it free. The A pillar has screws and rivets. Looks like I would have to drill out the two rivets to remove a pillar. Pic is of driver side looking towards back of car. It is covered in blue tape. Wedged away from car with old panel piece.

Under the rubber thing you pulled away should be a metal strip. Along this strip shoudl be torx screws that hold both the metal piece and the plastic piece to the window frame. Once those are removed, you can pull the plastic piece away from the window frame enough to get in there with some pliers and pull the rest of the aperture panel off.

The rivets only hold the metal piece to the plastic piece, but not to the window frame itself.

Cancel that order, I got it. Pulled the weather strip completely back and removed the other screws.

Is there a full part list anywhere documented for us that want to order the items ourselves?

No unexpected issues because you and Vet jet had it covered in your explanations and diagrams. Just waiting on paint guy. It rained last week and it was cold. Rain this week also. He has all my parts though. I’m happy I still have this to drive

Ahh, clever. Good call too, I never liked the bulbous headlights of the 98+ Camaros.

I’m pretty sure these came out with the headlights. Did anyone keep track of where these go. Looks like they will move around when installing headlights.

I don't remember mine having those at all. If it did, they were stuck to the headlight.

My guess is they're used around where the mounting screws are to prevent wobbles or something.
