How do i take off door panel? - Honda Prelude Forum

Hey guys im looking for a TUT for removing the drivers side door panel.

2 months ago i slide into a snow bank at the end of someones driveway and my drivers side door got "pushed" in no dents or kinks in the metal. Its gonna cost way to much to go get it done.. so im taking matters into my own hands and hopefully it will turn out ok!

A picture tut would be great but if u can just explain how to take it off before i go attempting anything it would help alot.

Thank you.

Josh

Four Screws and then the Clips. And be VERY gentle with the Switch Panel so not to break/crack it.

You don't need a "special tool" to remove the clips. Just start from the bottom of the panel, slide your fingers between the panel and door (there's a small amount of space for this) and gently pull the panel away. Only try to pull enough to pop out one or so clip(s) at a time. They're plastic, so don't be forceful..

Oh and this is for a '92 or '93, so if you have a '94+, don't worry about the Mirror Control.

And sometimes helps to remove the small trim piece that covers the Side Mirror Screws. It'll give you a little more room/clearance to work with..
