Can anybody give me some hints on how to get the door panel off.
I have a 96 lumina. The electric door switch is not working.

Three screws hold the panel on, plus the two that hold the door handle trim and window switch trim on. Be careful with the door, as there's several clasps which need to be carefully lifted out of their catches without breaking them. I already broke one tab :P If you can get the window rolled down first, do that. It'll help loads when you take off and put the panel back in.
