:FAQ: How to Remove CRX Door Panel (56K Problem)
This is actually fairly easy to accomplish. It takes about 10 min or so to remove. I did it in 15 min with no instructions.
Step #1;
Remove the screw located inside the top of the door jamb.
Step #2:
There is a screw located to the back side of the door. Remove it.
Step #3:
Remove the window crank handle. This is kind tricky because there is a pin located behind it. You will have to get a screw driver and pop it out of there. You can also use a piece of wire with a little hook in the end as shown below. When that is out just firmly tug on the base of the handle and it should come right out.
Step #4;
Remove the door speaker cover. There are two screws that are there. Just remove them. Then pull it out towards the interior to undo two clips that are on the right side of the speaker cover. Then pull it straight out towards you. It should be off now. You might have to wiggle it around a bit because there are a few clips holding it in there.
Step #5:
Remove the handle well that is located in the center of the door panel. There is a screw located directly in the center just unscrew it then pry it out around the edges and it should pop out.
Step #6:
Remove the panel that is behind the door handle. Just unscrew the screw behind the handle. Put the lock in the locked position and pull the handle slightly out. Then pull around the edges of the cover and it should just pop out.
Step #7:
Next look under where the speaker cover was. There are two screws located to the right of the speaker. Unscrew them
Step #8:
Now all that is left is to remove the actual panel from the door. Around the bottom of the panel are a few plugs that hold the panel to the door. All you have to do is firmly yank on the bottom of the panel. These plugs will just pop right out. There are about 5-8 depending on which year CRX you have.
Step #9:
All that is left is to pull the panel off of the door. It has a lip at the top of the panel that is lipped over where the bottom of the window is. You will have to pull up on the panel and un attach that lip. Be careful though because there is a sharp piece of of plastic at the top of the lip and you can scratch the panel by your mirrors really badly. Now that the top, bottom and sides are all free you just have to slightly rotate the panel to remove it from the piece of metal that the handle well was attached too. Then it should be off with no more work needed.
