Help removing door panel
How do you get the door panel off after removing all the screws and plastic clips? I can't seem to disconnect the two metal things that go to the door lock. Also the wiring harnesses for the windows/mirrors are extremely tight, is this normal or is there some kind of quick-release that I cant find?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The linkage (2 rods) going to the lock have little plastic clips you need to disconnecta and swing out of the way. Be careful they're hard to un do and they break easily.

I use just my thumb. Using a screwdriver you could slip and really break it off. Grab the rod and apply pressure with your thumb and the slid right around. That's for the newer body style

I ave become a true expert on taking off door panels in the past few days...
The little clips have not proven to be brittle. So slide them off qith your thumb and pull the rod down. Then do the lower one. And pull the rod out of the lower socket.
For electrical- just wiggle it while holding down the tabs. Comes out easily agter a few times.
Then its off.
