Need help taking off inside door panels

[Streetracer0442]

okay anyone have any good ways of removing the inside door panels without breaking all of those plastic pegs?(i don't know if there are plastic pegs never took off the inside panels on my eclipse but every other car has them.) anyways i always end up breaking them. then it turns out to be crap at the end. i'm just taking the off so i can start painting the interior. any help is appreciated thanks dave.

just pull em off. They should pop out and not break.

thats what i usually do and a few will snap off then i'm left with a flapping door panel. anyone else got any other methods. but thanks for the advice.

Use a panel popping tool.
then they wont break, and you won't be frustrated.

this is one of those "buy the tool do the job right, instead of make do and b*tch about what a pain in the ass it is" type of jobs.

and once you get all the screws out and the bottom undone slowly work your way up.
the top edge overhangs so it lifts straight off. Easiest to do with the windows down when you put it back on.
