Try looking at one of those Haynes auto repair manuals. They usually detail
procedures for removing panels of doors. Check your local autozone store or even your local public library. Unless of course, someone on the forum knows how to do it..

Thanks Oh, God.... Okay. Get this. Your front doors are held on by a rather sensible arrangement of screws and clamps and come off in two minutes, provided you have the proper tools. The *rear* doors, on the other hand, are held on by about 20 little serrated plastic nylon pins, and must be PRIED off with a special tool looking like a chrome-plated spatula. You can order it he http://www.crutchfield.com/S-igCkGs9...764&I=18187650 At least two or three of these pins will bust off, no matter how careful you are. You can only get new ones from your local Ford dealer, apparently. Putting the door panels back on involves just as much scrunching, sweating, and swearing as it did getting them off, and you will have to run your hand all over the panel and push to make certain the surviving pins are as deeply seated as they can be -- which will be difficult, seeing as how the process of removal totally thrashes the serrated part and allows the panel to buzz annoyingly at certain bass frequencies. I found all of this out installing a pair of Blaupunkt 2-ways back there, and as far as I am concerned they can stay there until the heat death of the universe. I plan on installing a good set of components up front, and will shift the volume level to favor them, leaving the rear pair to provide a bit of back fill. You have set yourself a task. Good luck. |

I do Auto/Marine Upholstery for a living(cough).. I use http://www.mactools.com/ProductDetai...?ItemNum=UT12S . The UT4 is the one I use the most but didn't see it on the site. It has a lot more leverage and a smaller footprint.. Wrap the back with a piece of vinyl or leather to keep from scratching the paint. Yeah,the door clips are not really designed to be reused but can be if your careful. Wrap a little 'strip caulk' around the clip before reinstlling the panel works wonders. But its always a good idea to order a few before you do this.. .And if you running any kind of power, this might be good time to damp the insides of the panels as well.. FasDeth |
