DOOR PANNEL NIGHTMARE
People I got stuck!!!! My passanger door outside handle was givving me trouble... so I took the door pannel off and adjasted the outside handle a little. That fixed the opening from outside problem....
but now I cant put the fricking door pannel back on... i am driving without it.. and I have to get out and open passanger door from outside for my girlfriend to get out... she loves it... and I WANT my pannel back on!!!
Since many of you upgraded factory door speakers, you must know the trick of putting this thing back on...
My problem is, when i took it off it kinda poped off the clips that sit inside the door. It is impossible to slide the pannel back on the clips, since all of them are slidding from a different angle. Should i take the clips out from the door and slide them on the pannel and then just pop the back in the door?
I am afraid i will brake the clips while taking them out from the door, seems like they are with locked for life lock on them..
After trying for 1 hour i mannaged to slide the pannel only on one bottom clip.. and that's IT!!!
HELP me from becoming a propper English gentellmen driving an English car who is opening a door for his maddam... I am Russian who lives in USA... see the problem? ;-)
Thanks in advance!
P.S. If pictures are needed... let me know.. i will take them right away.

They don't brake too easily, and if they do they're not expensive. Just grab some plyers and pull them from the door and then put them on the door panel. There shouldn't be any left on the door when putting the panel back on. Now the platis thing that goes around the door handle...that brakes easily so be careful with that!

RE: DOOR PANNEL NIGHTMARE
they are frigging tight into the door, but the male parts need to come out.. I have a Panel popper tool that is a wide pry-tool with a slot in it. It is made for this purpose.
If you break them pulling them out, then get new one.. not much money.
WHen I pulled my panel offI could not believe how tight they were. one of the plasic tabs on the door panel broke and it made me mad butI fixed it up and it is all fine now.
ONce you have all the clips off. then the panel just pushes back in place.
