If you’ve ever had to take off a car door panel, then you know it’s not a simple task. Whether the panel is glued down or just stuck really well, it can be difficult to get it off without damaging the car. In this article, we will show you a few tricks for taking off car door panels without any damage. We will also discuss some safety precautions that you should take while doing so. ###
What you need
There are a few things you’ll need before starting: a Phillips head screwdriver, a door panel removal tool, and some lubricant. If your car has power windows or doors, you’ll also need to disconnect the wires that control them.
To remove the door panel, start by removing the Phillips head screw that holds it in place. Then use the removal tool to pry it off the door. Be careful not to scratch either the door or the panel while removing it.
Once the panel is free, liberally apply lubricant to all of the moving parts on the inside of the door and screw them back in place. Reconnect any wires that were disconnected when removing the panel and enjoy your newly freed door!
How to take off the door panel
If you need to remove the door panel on your car, there are a few steps you’ll need to follow.
First, locate the screws that hold the panel in place. You’ll find eight of them around the edge of the door. Once you have those located, use a screwdriver to tighten them up until they’re secure.
Once those are secured, lift up on the panel and pull it towards you. Make sure to hold on to any wires or cables that are connected to it as they may come loose.
Once the panel is free, Pry off any adhesive that may have been used to seal it in place and discard it. Replace the screws and adhesive if necessary and reattach the panel.
Tips for taking off a door panel
If you want to take off a car door panel, there are a few things you need to know. The first is that the panel is held on by clips and tabs. You’ll need a small flathead screwdriver for this. Next, find the two screws that hold the panel in place. Loosen them up slightly with your screwdriver, then use a flathead to pry the panel away from the door. Be careful not to damage the screws – you’ll need them for re-assembly later. Once the panel is free, pull it off of the doorframe. If there’s any adhesive residue left behind, use a hairdryer or heat gun to clean it off.
