Removing 1g interior door panel

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

There are several screws holding the 1g interior door panel in place, some hard to find. The car in the picture has power doors but manual doors have ALOT of the same screws in the same places.

First, here is a picture showing where every screw is on the door panel.
A - 1 screw sort of coming in from the front
B - 2 screws in this area, both should have plastic caps on them
C - Little black cap pops out, screw hidden under it
D - usually a screw hidden in the carpet down here SOMEWHERE
E - 2 screws down inside the thing you grab to close the door

There are a few screws that have some plastic caps on them. They may not even look like screws to you. But if you use a small screwdriver, you can pop open the top of them as seen below

Once you have the screws out, grab ahold of the bottom edge of the door panel farthest from the hinges and pull out on it. You may here some popping cracking and other not so good sounding noises. These are the silly little plastic clips that hole the door panel in place. A few might break in this process so be careful. Once the bottom of the door is free, you will want to kind of push up on it. The panel some what clips over the top of the metal door up at the window and will need to pop off there. A little pushing from the bottom will do the trick.

To install, do all this in reverse.
