I want to take front door panels off, I have done this on the sedan before, it was pretty easy. Just3 screws and then unclipped the panel. The panel on the Koup is different so I was wondering is there any other things I need to look out for, I don't want to break anything.
I just want to re-position the rubber moulding that guides the window on the tracks, looks like it isn't fitting over the lip where it should be

Hey, hope this helps you. Since you are familiar with the sedan door panel you should be able to figure this one out too. This post from BW really helped me. The hidden screw he is referring to is behind the plastic piece on that handle. Feel the very bottom of that piece and you'll feel a small gap where you should start prying from with whatever prying tool you are using. Just take your time and be careful not to snap the clips as you pull it away! Good luck!

Hi Jeff thx for help, I think this is the piece that you have to pry out to locate hidden screw.?

Yes- that's it. It comes right off pretty easy once you get it started at the bottom.

I work at a hotel with a golf course and it looks like a stray ball hit my drivers door. Nice round dent. It looks like it should pop out. My question to you is: In the picture, RED circles are screws and GREEN circles are clips?
