NEED HELP Removing Door panel

05-09-2008, 07:56 AM

I have searched the site and found no information on how to remove the inner panel of the passenger side suicide door. I need to get the panel off so I can pop out a dent. Any help or reference material would be much appreciated.

Hmm I'll look into that tonight, It most likely will involve removing the handle, a screw or two and pulling. the front panels are just 2 screws and plastic pop clips around the edge that come off with a firm tug.

with side door closed, pull out 3'-4' of seat belt and wrap some tape to keep it pulled out Wont pull out with door open and you'll need the room. remove screw inside cup holder, push of retainer clip from side (behind) handle, pull lower cover off lower seat belt bolt. Remove bolt ,watch for spacer. Pull off from bottom and back 8 snaps around outside. remember to watch for rubber trim when re installing.

I found it a lot easier to put the panel back on by pulling away the weather stripping half way up the door. Putting the panel in place, then putting the weather stripping back on. This saved me from breaking the fragile plastic.
