Hey guys.

Ive been on google for a half hour I can t find anything.

I want to remove the lower EXTERIOR door panels on my car to do some paint work and repairs on them.

Can anyone help me get them off safely?

Thanks

There is a lot of clips and sticky tape…
Mine was partially off on one corner so I took mine off by gently pulling it…clips popped out and I replaced sticky tape.

I’m sure that the PDF attached will explain everything in more details

Good luck

thanks a lot twix

I was warned already about the sticky tape, im going to use the dental floss or fishing line trick to cut through it , and so far I see the 4 obvious nuts, im sure theres going to be some more somewhere else though, there always is lol

thanks man

If you can, post some pics of this when you do it, they will be highly appreciated. My molding is separated from the door on the corner and I'd like to fix mine as well.

Does anyone know if the instructions in this pdf apply to a 2004 ,my door panel on the passenger side sticks out at the rear corner.

anyone do this repair yet? Curious if it's recommended to use a trim puller/tool for the clips or just fingers...

I've had these panels off when I did the paint on my car. Its easy to just pop them off once the tape is separated. No tools needed. Have fun peeling off the old tape and cleaning off the goo from the adhesive. Its a double sided foam tape and they're on there good.

4, 10mm nuts all around in the lower portion. After that you need a long razor to cut the double sided tape and easily remove it.

The front smallest panel is just removed by hand and cutting the tape as well.
