Caddynut Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I haven't had a panel off of that car, but normally just look for screws in the door handle and usually the panel is clipped to the door. You might need a clip removal tool which you can get at an auto parts store for about 4 bucks...makes it a little easier, but you can just take your time and work them out if you decide not to buy one. When you get the panel loose....work from the bottom up....lift it straight up because there is a lip on the top of the door. good luck 2008 BMW 328xi 2007 Chrysler Aspen 2001 Cadillac Seville STS 2000 Ford Ranger XLT1998 Mitsubishi Spyder Convertible 1996 Saturn SC-11991 Ford F-1501979 Chevrolet Caprice1968 Ford LTD1965 VW Beetle "Herbie The Love Bug Replica** 1961 VW Beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrantlee Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 There is a black trim panel behind the chrome door handle. Carefully pry it out and remove the screw. Behind the pull handle on the door, there is a flap that can be pulled out a bit and pulled up. It doesn't look like it pulls up, but the cardboard inside is preforated, so don't worry about breaking it, it will fold up. Remove the two screws behind it. I also think there are two screws at the bottom of the trim panel. Gently pull the panel from the bottom all the way around to pull out the eight? fasteners. Next disconnect the latch cable from the door handle by prying out on the white tab and pulling backward-you will figure it out. Kind of hard doing it by yourself, but I've done it several times. Disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the door panel. If you need to remove the water deflector, remove the door module and push in the center pin in the fasteners-they are reusable-you will figure it out. I know it doesn't look like they will push in but they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 This should help. Regards, Warren Trim_Panel_Replacement.doc There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
