ChevyMan23 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I bought some new door handles, just stock SS Handles already pantied Arrival and I was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to getting the door panel off w/out breaking the clips?....

IdriveGTP Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 ...from the last time that I had a Silverado pannel off.... There are only a few 7mm screws that hold it on (behind the handle and behind the door lock), and then the pannel SLIDES UP! I have seen many people try and pry out on a Silverado door pannel, but they just slide up and off! The next time that I take one off here at the glass shop I need to take some pics and post them in the 'how to' section (for those that don't take one off everyday, it would probably be a rather handy thing to see)!

fordsareslow Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Just 2 scwews, one behind the door lock mech. and one behind the handle, then just slide the whole door panel up. The first one took me about 45 min, the second one only took 10 min. You will have to unplug the wires for the light and door locks and windows. Very easy after the first one.

BigTsBadSS Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I learned that the hard way when I broke one of the clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 i did that ripped the bottom clips totally off! and i tried to take the switch assembly off totally, not knowing that their is a screw in the top, needless to say i need 2 new door skins still! just 2 screws and pull it off. i do a lot of work on my doors customizing em, painting em, i replaced the door handles to billett ones so i can take it off in about 2 min.
