Re: camaro door? 3rd gen

Depends on the year of the door. the early years had tape, the later years had push in clips. I think the years 85 to 87 had tape, the years 88 to 92 had clips. Dont qoute me I maybe wrong lol. Most likely wrong lol.

My 86 maro, 90 bird, and 89 bird all had double sided tape. Take the inner door panel off and you should see studs if it's held on with clips.

Re: camaro door? 3rd gen

There were some '85 Camaros that had multi-piece moldings that were riveted to the door (and fender & qtr). Seem to be pretty rare though, so it's unlikely it will be that style.

Interesting. Were the studs along the middle of the door, or along the bottom?
