How to take off door panels

[rock883]

The reason why I am posting this here, is because it ihas to deal with putting in new speakers in my friend's 93 xlt. I have a 91 xl (manual windows, no door lock switches) and I have taken my door panel off plenty of times, but his is a little different. To do mine, I take out 3 screws, take off the window crank, and door lock knob and pull out. I can't figure out how to remove his door panel. I figure some of you have done this, so maybe you guys can help me out. Thanks

He has power window? Take out the same three screws, remove the small plate around the inner door handle, use a flathead screwdriver at the bottom of the power window switch plate and pry it out and disconnect. Get a panel remover, or good ol' elbow grease and then start *carefully* pulling at the bottom. then around. It's pretty tough doing it with just your hands when you're trying to to break the old plastic, so just be careful. Then when you think all the plastic rivet things are out, lift up and forward, getting it out of the window thing, over the door lock, and around the door handle. Make sure to disconnect the puddle lamp light before you completely pull away.

See ya Rock!

I guess the only thing different was to remove the switch plate and the little light on the door. When I was trying to pry his off it was pretty hard and it was on there real good. Mine is real easy to tale off. I guess I'll try to pry the bottom with a screw driver. Thanks
