Hardest part is cleaning the rollers and tracks throughly.



When greasing everything, Run the windows up and down few times adding grease as needed.

how hard is to remove door panel?

not hard - just a TON of screws - do yourself a favor though - go to pep boys and buy a door panel removal tool - that will prevent breaking the little plastic clips

Door panel is easy to remove just a bunch of steps. I would suggest you invest (not expensive at all) in a door panel removal kit from someplace such as Eastwood. They are small plastic prybars with various end configurations which allow you to "pop" the door panel clips from the door without damaging the fiberboard panel. If you mess up the fiberboard where the clips are, the panel can then flap around. New panels are expensive (some color combos are NLA) and repairing broken ones is a pain.



Definitely worth the investiment- I think the set from Eastwood was under $40, but I honestly can't remember.



EDIT- Damn, what was I thinking trying to beat Flash to the punch! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> You got eyes in the back of your head boy?!!!!!

Funny.... i once saw the same tattoo (not in person, but in a picture on the intrawebs) on a female. Only lower. And on the front side of her body.

No DIYs (at least in the very tidy DIY section).



Drum if you do this would you mind taking some pictures and posting them? I need to do this as well for front speaker replacement and we could put a DIY together.



Thanks

well, i got started with this job before i saw your posts about pictures. i wished i had taken pictures as i went along. there is a lot of screws and it is a pain in the %&#. it's really hard to get into the door even after you remove the inside cover. i did the best i could without taking the entire railing out. it seemed to help somewhat, but not considering the pain. i'll remember to take photos next project i attempt.
