i'm not sure if this has been asked yet but i just got home from work and i'm too tired to go browsing so i'll ask first, i'm completely stumped as to how to take off the door panels of my 96 accord ex, it's an automatic (if that matters) and i managed to find three screws but i can't get it to unhinge (if that's a word) with just those, does anybody have a link or some advice cause i been looking through the internet for a couple days now and the noise my actuator is making is real annoying......

 

after you take the screw off the handle you have to push in a bit and pull forward (toward the front of the car) the handle should come loose. and there is a clip you can unclip.

 

so how many screws should i be taking out.....

 

I have a 94 ex vtec. To take off the panel, theres a screw in the interior door handle (theres a connector and a wire that moves the door lock lever) , 1 in the door pocket that you use to close the door. Theres a clip on the front of the door close to the hinges. once you remove the 2 screws and i clip, just use a flat head screwdriver and put it between the door panel at the bottom and pry the panel off. That's all it takes.

 

i'll try it this weekend, hopefully i don't mess anything up

Call crutchfield and ask if they have a master sheet you can have. They may not give you one without buying a speaker or something though. Well I have a 96 EX also and have taken them off plenty of times. Mine is a 4door but it should be similar on a coupe if not the same. There is a screw behind the door handle like that you pull to open the door. It may have a cover you have to pop out over it if it's never been apart before. Then pull it out and you can see on the back where stuff connects unplug the wires. To discconct the metal thing that connects to the door latch just push that plastic clip piece out of the way and it slides out the top. Ok next there is the part with the window buttons. There is a screw in the bottom of that you need to take out. Once you get it out lift and pull and get that piece out but be careful but you do have to pull it up and out towards the back of the car a little. Unplug it. Now you have two big plastic screws. I think two but I'm not positive in the door panel you will see them if you look around. Take those out and take a screwdriver with a rag over it or a door panel remover tool and go around carefully and every few inchs and pull out on it and it will pop loose. Once loose just lift it off. I'm not the best with giving directions so I appologize. I also don't know what to call everything and am tired right now as I haven't slept much in the last 2 days. If you break those clips when pulling it off they should be cheap although I've never broken and and I've take the door panels off numerous times.
