Door Paneling

[91lxdreamer]

I cant figure out how to get my door paneling off, I dont want to snap the thin plastic, but I need to get it off to prevent overspray. I'm painting my whole interior white, and I'm on the doors now. Someone help please..........

i've done this tons in my time with this car...but what are you talking about "snapping the thin plastic"


you take the screws out around the door panel then pop out the bottom...basically pull up so the top comes from over the window seel...and it should work...if you need further explaination i could write a how to...but again its not that hard at all....putting it back on was always my problem....now im a pro haha

I did pop out all the screws around the door, but the bottom doesnt seem to want to come out. I've dont door handles and stuff on panelling, so I know the basic jist of what to do, but I just cant get the bottom to break loose.

wait you have the door handle suppost out and the little door thing where u put your arm out as well? if not do so... now if this is your first time yanking them out it might take a little power...mine did...

Get a panel popper from shucks... it's like a forked screw driver that is bent at the end, it is designed to get in around the plastic clips that hold the door panel on and pop them off without any hassle. Yeah the first time it takes a little force, just make sure you have ALL of the screws out. And be careful with the plastic clips.
