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.

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.
