2 door Lumina door panel removal

[1990lumina]

Alright, I did a search, and got some questions answered, but to be sure since I DON'T want to break my door panels (I'll never be able to replace them). To remove the panel there are screws along the outside of the panel, some by the door handle, and under the window/door lock switches.

 

Does this seem correct? Are there any other screws or things I should know about before trying to remove the panel?? I need to do some measuring behind there, and need to get the panel off sometime tomorrow.

 

Thanks!

Jeff, suonds about right. Don't forget to carefully pry loose the window switch

panel( then you can disconnect the wires). Then carefully pry the panel loose,

starting from one end. Underneath the panel is attached with those stupid plastic

push pins. Don't be surprised if you brake some. If you need replacements check

with a body shop, the replacement ones at the discount stores are cheesy and

break easy.Once the panel is loose you will have to creatively slide it

over the door handle(PIA, but not too bad).Don't forget to remove the set screw

from the side mirror too.Hope this helps.

It's easy to do. I did it on my Z34. Lots of wires if you've got power windows and locks, but overall very easy. Might help that I had my '90 Cavalier's door panel off about 4 times.

These door panels are a breeze. I think I have w-body door panels down to about 10-15 minutes per door.

Dont forget the screws that are under the shoulder belt slot in the top of the door panel.
