Crazy K Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 remove lower cover around seatbelt area remove latch/lock cover with one phillips screw remove switch plate, this may be easiest if you reach up from below and press on the clip at the front and/or rear of the switch plate so you don't have to pry on the doorpanel remove hidden 7mm bolt that goes though the top of the pull handle, accessed right behind the release handle remove large phillips screw hidden under switch plate remove cap by the upper seatbelt remove 1 or 2 phillips screws found hidden under the cap (I recommend adding the second screw if the factory did not install it, grab one on your next j/y visit) remove phillips screw at top front near mirror door panel now free to remove, but take care to try and get the "christmas tree" pegs out without damage.

94 olds vert Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I got frustrated rated and ripped the bottom part out and ripped a whole in some clear plastic.. Stuck my hand in there popped that rod back in place. All I have to do now is install the new door handle, and Hot glue is going to be my best friend right now.
