Hey all you C3 experts out there....can anyone tell me what, if any, special tools are required to remove my door panels. The doors are stock in that they only have the door lock buttons, interior handle and the adjustable mirrors......

Again, thanks for your help.................

Hey Mike,

I have taken mine off before and all I needed was a phillips head screw driver.

I unscrewed the door lock buttons, the arm rests and then the exposed screws on the door panel itself.

I found it easiest to have the door locks in the locked position for removal and the unlocked position for reassembly.

I had trouble with the mirror adjuster bezel. I never found the set screw that is behind it. I was able to rotate the panel around and get the mirror bezel through the hole for it in the door panel. Just had to get it at the right angle.

As I remember it wasn't much fun and I cursed alot! LOL

Good luck with it & let us know how it goes.

Kevin
