i can go get one of those clip tools but does anyone have a step by step to taking off the door panel? 93 prelude power everything... thanks

 

Put a small towel around a flat head screwdriver and start prying up the sides where you can. Just work your way around the door. I believe there is a phillips screw in the little coin tray on the door.

 

1. Remove the triangular black panels inside of the side mirrors. <-- Flathead screwdriver.

2. Remove a plastic pin on the door panel. It should be loacted on the panel where when the door is close, it's hid by the dashboard. <-- Flathead.

3. Remove the cover and screw holding the door-pull socket and door handle bracket. <-- Flathead + Phillips.

4. Start pulling the door panel from its edges from where you removed the panel pin in step 2. Pulling the panel requires firm, but not excessive force. Use your fingers and hands. No tools are required.

5. After pulling all the taps out, lift up to remove the panel from the door.

6. Disconnect the harnesses for PW, PL and mirrors.

7. Have a beer!


PS. In case you break the plastic taps in step 4, they are available at your local Honda dealers.
