| Subject: Removing door panels..... any tips or trouble areas? Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:37 pm | |
| I'm going to get a set of front door panels off of a 94 Roadmaster sedan on thursday night. I have to remove them myself.... any tips before I attempt this? Any trouble spots wih these? I've never taken them off of a Buick, just on a few of my older Caddies. I DON'T want to damage anything!

| Don't force under any condition as they are very brittle. Buy a forked "tree" remover to remove the clips. They are about $7 at any auto store. There are 3 screw: 1 on each side of the strap (you have to peel the strap back on either corner. The 3rd is in the bottom outside corner of the door pocket, somewhat hidden. All are phillips head. There is also a screw holding the plastic bezel around the door handle.
Now to remove: with the forked tool, reach behind the panel and pop the clip out. There is somewhere around 6 clips. Roll the window down, grab the panel on either side and lift up. Sometimes you may need a screw driver to give the top of the panel a little gentle pry. You will have a couple of wires to unplug.
That's it!
