[Shotimes] removing door panels

[Ron Childs]

Assuming the screws under the caps on the pull strap are out, you just lift it up, don't pull out.. It helps to have the lock button pushed down. At least this is how my '91 works. Oh, yeah; the little triangle piece at the front should be removed too.

I got those out ok. It's at the top, where the panel hooks over the sill
of the door, that I couldn't get it free. I've done it before, but can't
remember how it worked. I was pulling on it pretty hard, and figured
I'd better stop before I hear a crack.
