I don't know if this has already been posted but I can't find it.
I need help removing the drivers side door panel so I can reattach my door mirror after some ******* took it out in a parking lot
It looks like all I need to to is just screw it back in place and pop out the dent in the door. But I can't do it with the door panel on.
Does anyone have any idea how to remove the door panel without shattering the glass or breaking anything

Just Be Careful And Don't Break The Moulding Like The Guy In This Video Did,Never Pull The Moulding From One End Like He Did.

 

Mine was already cut like that.
The video did help but that IROC had power windows and mine didn't so I spend an additional 2 hours trying to take off the window crank. Even worse I watched a similar video on how to remove the crank using some spatula type device which didn't work at all.
I managed to take everything off and reattach the mirror. I just need to put everything back together

 

One of these makes all the difference in the world when removing the window cranks:


Most auto parts stores stock a tool like this

 

That's what I used. It didn't work.

 

I am curious, how did it not work?

 

It wouldn't push the pin holding the crank out. All it did was get stuck and then it bent in half

 

You have to look in there and see which way the clip is so you can use the tool properly.
