I need help removing a driver's door panel on my 93 Explorer.

[AllanMoss]

I am new to the forum. I have a 93 explorer xlt and a 97 ranger. I am trying to remove the door panel on the drivers side to replace a window motor. I seem to be missing a screw attaching the panel. Does anybody know if there is a screw somewhere at the bottom on the left. The panel should just lift out at this point.

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the stock 91-94 section.

I think your just hung up on a clip. Try pulling a little harder, straight out, and it should pop off.

We made a tool out of flat steel then cut a "U" shaped slot on the end specifically for popping door panels off. Just pull harder or use a screwdriver.

Once you get all the 'christmas tree' clips/plugs un done around the bottom, and sides of the panel, the panel lifts UP about 3 inches, then pull it away from the door shell.

Don't forget to remove the little plastic insert around the handle. I always pull the handle, like I'm opening the door, when taking the door panel off.

Yeah taking the panel is kinda hard but I had to make sure all the push pins was out. And when I take one side out the others pushed in so it was kinda a pain. But other than that it was pretty easy.
