Does anyone know the best way to take off and put on the very top of the door panel. It's the panal that is usually black and sits on the very top of the door panel. I'm puttin on new ones and I'm having trouble with the install. Thanks for your help.

 

Roll your window all the way down and push the panel toward the window and up should slide off. I did my door panels 2 days agop and im very happy with the results.

 

I just did this! I know exactly what you are dealing with! Those stupid upside down speed nuts. I tried to put one on the same as factory with a pair of pliers and I just ended up damaging the plastic stud. I ended up fliping the nuts upside down (or normal install for the rest of the world) and managed to catch about one thread on each plastic stud. It holds firm and I have not had a problem to date. I also checked with Snap-On, Mac, and Matco and no one makes a tool to do this job. I would love to see how the factory does this installation.

 

man i hear ya on those dumb things, i just used some needle nose pliers and only damaged two plastic studs...but i did use some super weatherstrip adheasive at the top so that **** aint goin nowhere

 

Lower window, push in towards the window and lift up, easy as that. But I recommend you start from the front of the door by the engine bay and work your way back, it makes removal even easier.

 

I'll try that, thanks for all the help!
