Default How do I take off the door panel - Need quick answer

I have paintless dent removal guy coming to my work tommorow morning to take two dents out of my car. I have to get the passeneger door panel off before he gets there. How do I do it?

This guy is excellent. He does unbelievable work on a lot of high end cars. He told me that aluminum is very hard to do. If he can't do it 100%, he won't do it at all. He is going to see how it looks tommorow morning. Some jerk got me in a restraunt parking lot even though I was the furthest spot away.

There are two screws in the door handle that have to be removed. There is one black christmas tree snap in the upper left hand corner (on passenger door) that can be removed with a screwdriver. Then yank the bottom of the panel where it juts out and that's all there is to it.

Be careful of the wires when you yank! They unhook easily by depressing the little tabs on the connections...

Isn't it only the hood and the hardtop that is aluminum.

Well, to follow up, my car is brand new again. This guy did an unbelievable job. I had 2 deep dents. One in the quarter behind the right front tire and the other on the passenger door. Ding Dent Done! Perfection! If anyone needs someone, PM me and I'll give you his info.
