2004 S80 T6 Drivers door panel

bmcmike · Post by **bmcmike** » 20 Mar 2014, 18:05

I have searched the other forum about this but still seem to be having a problem removing my drivers side door panel.
I have removed mirror cover, door handle cover and T25 screws, all the pop clips around the outside edge.
It seems very tight at the top half like something is still holding it. Someone told me it should just lift upwards, it could be a little tight but it should come off.
Well I tried this and am basically lifting the entire door and stressing the hinges. Is this supposed to be a 2 person job?
I do not want to break anything. Sorry if this has been covered before but I need to get this window fixed asap.
Thanks

I have done it recently, the panel should come off easily once you remove everything. Are you sure you removed the pop up clip near the upper front (this one is easy to overlook, it is not at the edge). Do not force it.

You have to push up on it to remove it once all the screws are out. It doesnt come straight off towards the inside. It can be sort of tight where it meets the window. Try to start at one end so it slides out of the groove it sits in.

Three tx25 head screws? one under the horizontal grab cup and the two on the slanted near vertical handle?

I realize I did not get the one under the grab cup. I looked at that area and though it looks like it could? come out there is no slot or tab.
Someone also told me there is a screw behind the door opener trim ??
I will look tomorrow . Thanks very much for the replies.

OK want to keep both forums up to date.
I was able to remove the panel once I removed the screw behind the door handle cup and removing the trim around the handle. It was still stuck in the top middle but it eventually came off.
NOW. seems like pretty limited access here.
I need to replace those 2 Blue clips that keep the window straight in it's track. Can I do this without removing the track/regulator and glass?
Also what size type screws hold the door speaker in? I need to remove it to gain access to the front end of the glass/regulator.
I hate opening "cans of worms"
