We're changing the color of this car and need to completely remove all components from the inside of the door...and then remove the door from the car.

Any help/instructions you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have fun...

It is a major PITA

You gotta drill out most of the rivets that hold the door glass/motors, etc.

I did it on an SN-95 and it took me all day.

Just curious if ALL rivets need to be removed.

I noticed some were red... not certain is this has any significance.

When I took all the guts out of my door I believe I drilled out pretty much every rivet. What I would do if I were you though is drill out the silver ones first. See if the piece comes out if not drill out the red ones.
