How to Take the Door Panel Off of a 2003 Chevy Cavalier
- 1). Remove the three Phillips screws on the bottom of the door panel and the single screw on the side. Remove the single screw in the side view mirror cover and remove the cover.
- 2). Remove the two screws located inside the armrest pocket.
- 3). Remove the manual window crank handle. Insert the window crank handle remover tool between the window crank and the door panel. Keep the tool close to the crank, hold a small amount of pressure on the tool and twist the handle a small amount in both directions to remove the snap clip. Don't loose the clip.
- 4). Insert the common screwdriver between the door panel and the door. Slide the screwdriver down until it contacts one of the trim fasteners. Pry the trim fastener out and slide to the next fastener. Remove all the trim fasteners on all three sides.
- 5). Lift the door panel up to release the top of the panel from the top ridge and pull the door panel away from the door enough to disconnect all the electrical connectors.
