I just got a nice set of black leather door panels, but im not sure how to install them, i know how it goes but im not sure what i do with those circular yellowish plastic caps/clips...do they go into the panel or onto the door??
Thanks!

 

both. I believe you're talking about the retainer clips. They hold the door panel to the door

 

these: http://www.moderndaymuscle.com/inc/sdetail/1286

which stay in the door and what dont? a bunch of mine are stuck in the door

 

well, what is supposed to happen, is the clips slide into the door panel an then are "pushed" into the holes in the door. If there are some still in your door, pull them out. make sure the clip retainers, for lack of better words, on the back of the door panels arent broken.

 

i dont think there are any on the new panels, they might be stuck on the old ones, and if i need some is a junkyard likely to just have a container of these or am i going to have to take them off their?
Thanks

 

Just go to Pep Boys or any auto store and buy new ones.

 

Well i started to night trying to get to the window felt got most of the top off but how the hell do you get the trianle piece off?

 

You should get a factory shop manual...comes in VERY handy when taking things apart and putting them back together. Everything is pretty much listed step by step on how to do this kind of stuff.

 

hey while you guys are on the topic, i have a set of door panels from a 87 gta. now on the inside of these there are metal bars that hold the plastic clips in, the metal bars have come apart from the inside of the door panel, is there any adhesive i can use to glue these back to the inside of the door panel so i can put these on my car?

 

ya i also like the just learn as you go, ive figured it out, i dont need to take out the triangles, but it looks like the window felt i got from classic, the hole dont line up! i called them so well see....

but a manuel is a very good idea

 

yeah, I could never get the top felt/trim piece to align quite right. I just got frustrated one day and bolted them to the door frame from the top...

 

what do you mean from the top? I think im just going to drill new holes...
