How Do I Remove LEATHER Door Pannels?

Kirby

First you have to pop off the switch plate pulling from top to bottom with a flat head screwdriver or other similar tool. After that is off, disconnect the wiring from the back of the switches. Next take out the screws (4 if I can remember right). Another thing I do that some others don't bother with is taking the backing off the side mirror. This gives you a little more room when you pull up on the door. Removing the mirror may be necessary and is very simple. This process takes no more than 2 minutes. After all the screws are out and the inside door handle gives when you pull on it, it is now loose. You then have to work the door panel upwards to allow the clips to slide out from behind the door frame. Not too hard. I had a little trouble with it my first time because I didn't ask anyone but after the first time, it is very simple to understand. Hope this helps.

The leather inserts are built into the entire plasic door panel, cannot be removed seperately. Removing the door panel is actually pretty easy (plenty of practice by replacing my POS Monsoon door speakers)

I have a site for you right here that explains how to change the leather door inserts if that is what you are wanting to do.

Do The Leather Door Pannels Come Out With Out Cuting Them?

Kirby

What are you wanting to do, replace the leather?

mustgofasster

Yes, I want to replace just the leather.

I take it you have a camaro. I just noticed that the link I gave you was to a TA. It should work the same though. Follow the link then click on Installations. After you are there, click on the Door Panel Install. I read this a couple of months back and now I'm thinking about doing my door panels the same way. The only problem we may have is that the leather on the top section of the panel will only cause problems with the weatherstripping on the inside top of the panel next to the window. I'm not sure how to remove this piece but it should just clip on and pop off. At least that is how the outside one works. I'll look into it and if I find anything out, I'll let you know. If you decide to do it, take very good notes and pics and maybe we can get it turned to a Sticky.
