Door panel removal
Here’s a how-to on removing your door panel for speaker, window problems, or any other reason you might want. This is for the 90-93 cause when they
moved the seatbelts off of the doors I don’t know what the difference would be.
Tools needed – 14mm wrench (socket or open ended)
Flat head screwdriver
Phillips Screwdriver
Step 1
Pop off the plastic cover off of the seat belt top with the flathead screwdriver.
Step 2
Use the 14mm wrench to remove this bolt.
This is how the washers look like after removal. I took this pic as a reference so when I put it back together.
Step 3
use flathead screwdriver to pop off this cover. Be gentle just for the simple fact of you don’t want to break it. DUH!!!
Step 4
There should be a Phillips screw in this hole to remove, but there wasn’t one on mine. I have extra bolts so I’ll see if any of them fit.
Step 5
Take off that cover now. It should come right off.
Step 6
Remove these 2 bolts with a Phillips screwdriver.
Step 7
Remove the 3 screws holding the trim piece in the middle of the door panel
Step 8
Remove the 2 bolts on the front of the door.
Step 9
Pull out what I like to call the door doodads and use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2 screws. (This step is not applicable on the driver’s
side. Instead on the driver’s side you need to take the 2 screws out of the window switch plate and remove that. Then remove the exposed Phillips
screw.)
Step 10
Remove the 2 screws deep into the bottom of the seatbelt guide. They are there just really in there.
Step 11
Gently pry loose the outside of the door handle with the flathead screwdriver.
Step 12
gently lift up on the door panel from the bottom and viola
Edit- Now some of these pics aren’t mine. Well like the last 4 cause my camera crapped out on me, but I will take actual pics and replace them
within a week or 2.

Thanks Jerry. Like I said though step 8-12 aren't my pics, but when I reassemble the doors I will tke pics again. I have no idea why they didn't
save in my camera, but oh well. Here's the reason why I took my panel off in the 1st place.
and
Scared the hell out of me cutting a hole in the door.
