[87gninpa]

im in the middle of replacing my window felts and i have the lower door panel; completely off, but after removing the screw covers from the upper panel, there are no screws behind them!!! one looks like theres nothing holding it on and the other looks like there is a screw in it, but no head to take it out with. What do i have to do to get the panel off?? please help quickly!!

I am not sure about the Screw with no head......however...


Remove the 2 screws in your armrest, and there should be 2 other large screws behind it. Remove your Door Lock pull and the panel should just come right off.

Pop the plastic panel retainers loose and if there are no screws in those holes behind the pull strap ends, it should lift off the top of the door. It just rides in a groove on the top of the lower panel as you probably realize. After removal you can unplug the power window switch (if you have power windows).

Im trying to lift it up and its not budging........it definately feels when trying to pull it loose that there is something holding it wherre those screws should be. any other ideas??/ it looks like a big round screw head with a hole in it.........

Are the plastic panel clips still attached? You know, at the ends on the backside? You have to use a forked tool to pop them out. Or a flat screwdriver very carefully. If you can, try to grab that screw head with some needlenose pliers and remove it.

Try to drill the screw with a drill bit, then put the drill in reverse and see if it will back out.
