Default del Sol door removal

I need (want) to take my door off so I can bring it into the barracks to work on the locking mechanism tommorow after the Honda dealer gets my part. Are there any special concerns? Is it as straightforward as it looks? My concern is that I take the door off and when I go bolt it back on it will sag badly (viva la Camaro!).

when you say line up, you mean line up the bolt holes or what?

I'll take my chances with it, I'm not about to stand outside in the rain all night to fix it. Is there a proper method, like bolting it back in a certain order?

good luck, btw other than the 3 screws inside the hood and the 1 behind the door jam what other screws need to be unbolted to remove the fender?
