How to Remove Door Panels on a 2005 GTO
- 1). Open the door wide. Locate and remove the four screws along the bottom portion of the door panel with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Set these screws aside in a separate place from the other screws you remove; they are slightly different.
- 2). Lift the door lock knob on the top part of the door panel. On the rod, you'll find a small cap. Pry the cap off with a small flat-head screwdriver. Remove the Phillips-head screw behind it.
- 3). Remove the two Phillips-head screws from the rear side of the door panel. One screw is on the outer edge of the door-panel armrest; the other is next to the courtesy light.
- 4). Remove the Phillips-head screw from the front portion of the panel. This screw is right next to the door-panel air vent.
- 5). Pry off the plastic cover behind the door handle. Hold the door handle open to better access the cover. Remove the two Phillips-head screws behind the handle.
- 6). Grasp the front part of the sail panel (side mirror-bolt cover). Pull it toward the rear to unhook it from the door panel.
- 7). Push the door panel up, and then pull it away. If removing the driver-side door panel, unplug the power-mirror switch from behind.
