Apparently everytime I try to search for something on here it never shows any results, so I'll just ask it. How do you remove the door panels (front doors) on 97 Accords? I only see 2 screws you can get to but they don't do anything really to help in the overall door panel removal. I'm trying to see why my front pass. side window won't roll down and can't do anything with the door skin still attached.

 

I know on my 6th Gen, there are, I think, two visible screws, also. Those need to be removed, along with the little cover for the actual door lock.

Then, from the inside, you pry back the cover that surrounds the door handle. A very little tab has to be moved off off the metal bar that is connected to the door handle. Just use a screwdriver for this, and it's very easy to get back on afterwards.

Release any tabs that may be on the edges of the door panel, and also any that are near the triangle cover at the front of the door itself.

Start from the outside, the side near the quarter panel, and go along with a taped up screwdriver to pop out any tabs on the inside. Continue until you hit the inside of the door, then lift the panel up, and pull it towards you.


Hope this helps.

If not, feel free to buy a Haynes manual, or something along those lines.

The 2 door vs. 4 door (front) removal is very similar.

Make sure you're searching archived posts. That's where 95% of your results will be.

 

those two screws (handles) and then a small button of sorts in the upper front of the door, then it's just a **** ton of clips, I usually pull from the back bottom and just pull straight out
