Default Removing door panel...
Is there anything in paticular I should watch out for or do when I am removing the passenger door panel? And also are the window cranks the same as any other car? I need to tear it down here soon so I can put a new mirror in. Thanks!

pretty straight forward. just unloosen the screws and gently lift up and out. as for the window cranks i believe they still use that c-clip type of tool to remove the ring holding the handle onto the shaft.

the window cranks are easy... take a shop towel and slide it inbetween the crank and the pannel... then slide the towel back and forth untill the clip comes off the post. piece of cake. thats how we did them instead of using teh "proper" tool...

Sorry for the double post...got an ASP error and wasn't sure the first one went. A mod can delete this if they so choose.
