Re: take door panels off

I assume the later cars use the same stupid little tabs that twist into the door panel and then wedge into the door frame.

I have made a habit out of buying new tabs before I start this job, you'll need 10 or more I'd guess.

Then I take an old screwdriver that I have ground the tip to a flat sharp edge. Next start at on end of the door and gentyl pry it up with your fingers. You'll be able to see where the tabs are at. Now stick the sharp edge of the screwdriver I mentioned up against the tab. Not hit the screwdriver with a hammer until you break thru that tab. Repeat as needed on each tab.
