Default Getting a Trans Am door panel off

THis is probably the wrong forum, but is there a diagram or something that tells me where all the screws are for the door? I have to take the door panel off to get at my speaker, and ive never done it before, nor know how to. DO i just need a screwdriver to take the screws out, and thats it, or is it more involved than that?

just a phillips screwdriver. Some of the screws are obvious, but I think two are hidden if I remember correctly. You have to pop the window/lock panel off, or the panel that goes around the door opening pull handle. Also remove that little triangle at the top corner by the mirror.

Once you get all the screws off, it lifts upwards and out. Just sits on hooks.

i just replaced my window motor via the tutorial someone has out there (easily find it with a search, but i dont have it offhand). but its for an lt1 car and i think mine had a few different screws elsewhere, but its a good starter to where stuff is. im pretty sure you have to take off the orange manual door locking button and push the rod back in the door before the panel comes off too.
