Door panel 1984 camaro

The door panel itself is held in with clips that pop out when removing the panel. I think there are a few things that have to come off first. The armrest should have a screw or two that holds it in and that must be taken off first. The switches for the windows and locks must also be removed. It should just pop off if you put a small flat tip screwdriver towards the front of the switch plate and lift up. Finally, the trim bezel around the door handle must be removed. It may have a screw or just snap in. If it has a screw, remove it and pull the door handle and snap it out. If it does not have a screw, just snap it out. After these are all removed, pull the bottom of the door panel away from the door to release the clips and keep pulling while going up toward the top of the door. Once all of the clips are released, list the whole door panel up and off.

First disconnect negative battery terminal.Underneath of armrest there is two screws, remove them, using small screw driver pry out armrest switch control plate and remove screw behind it, pry of the side mirror cover using wide putty knife. carefully start prying from the bottom of the door around going toward the top then lift the door panel over door lock knob. Carefully look under and disconnect all electrical connectors and remove the panel. Installation is in reverse order of removal!

Replace the window motor. They cost around $100 for the part and $150 for the labor. If your handy with tools you can do it yourself. Just remove the door panel. Drill out the rivets holding the motor inplace. Remove the motor and install the new motor with bolts to replace the rivets (included in the package) and install the door panel.

Remove screw off striker plate at door latch and pull plastic off. Unscrew lock knob. Pull off plastic around door handles. Remove bolt from top of handle. Pull off side mirror cover. Lift and wiggle the panel up and off watching that the hole around handle doesnt get caught.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls and mirror. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror assembly onto the door

First remove the arm rest on the inside of the door. It is attached with 2 screws that go in diagonally from the bottom of the arm rest. Then remove the window crank lever. It has a clip behind it that holds it on the splines. There are several snap clips that go 3/4 the way around the door panel that can be easily popped loose, (there is a tool for this) you can use 2 small flat screwdrivers positioned on each side of every clip one clip at a time to pop those loose. You may also have to remove the trim around the door handle and unscrew the door lock. With all the hardware removed, Vertically lift panel to remove from the door where the window comes out of the door. Voilla

1) Take off the tweeter (triangular thing). It is simply clipped on and will come off relatively easily. Pinch inward and pull out. 2) Then proceed to roll down the window ALL THE WAY. This will prevent you from scratching or shattering the window if a tool slips. Next, pop off the window and lock control panel (with a flat-head screw driver) off the door panel (it is simply clipped in with 2 metal tabs on each side to hold it in) to reveal the inside of the door and ONE LARGE SCREW. 3) Start to take off the door panel screws. From what I remember, these are the screws and their locations: (in order) a) Small screw holding in door handle cover. (this removes the protective door handle thing)(the protective thing needs to be removed: simply pull on the handle while slipping the cover out.) b) Large screw under the handle of the door. (this will loosen the whole panel) c) Large screw UNDER the reflector plate on the door. You will have to take off the reflector in order to gain access to this screw. CAUTION: the reflector is VERY fragile and can crack easily. (this will loosen the whole panel) d) Large screw right behind the window controls. (this will disconnect the whole panel from the door itself. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE PANEL WITHOUT REMOVING ALL THE SCREWS AND THE PROTECTIVE PLATE!!! 4) Electronic Obstacles...yea...kinda hard to explain: Well, first off, the panel will not be able to come off without disconnecting the door control panel. Since you already popped off the window controls, all you need to do is disconnect the adapter that the wires plug into. On the passenger side, this is easy, simply pinch in on the two connectors and pull out. These "ribbons" may need a bit of convincing, but they DO come off. The driver's side electronics are EXTREMELY complex and are EXTREMELY hard to take off, to tell you the truth, I only rotated the disconnected door 90 degrees which left just enough room to solder and install the speakers. I did this so that I didn't need to disconnect ANY parts of the door controls on the driver's side. I only needed to pop off the window control panel, no disconnection of any wires. (the driver's side wires seem to have more slack than the passenger ones. I found this easy with two people. 5) Now for the hardest part, taking off the door panel itself. The whole panel is held on by white PLASTIC bolts that are ribbed. These bolts can be pretty annoying, but secure the door quite well. First, I started by the tweeter. There should be a small space where you can fit a hand in and start pulling. DO NOT PULL OR TRY TO PULL ALONG THE TOP OF THE DOOR, START YOUR HAND ON THE TOP BY THE TWEETER AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TWEETER SIDE (while hand still between the panel and the door itself). THEN START PULLING ONCE YOU ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR PANEL. As you work your hand down the door, you might here a sound of breaking plastic, this is what you are looking for. The ribbed bolts are being pulled out of their holes. Eventually, once a majorority of a side is out, it will make it MUCH MUCH easier to pull the remaining bolts out. Once you get the hang of hearing the bolts come out, and you are able to get a bigger grip on the panel, the whole door will eventually POP off. Now that it is popped, lift the panel up and it then should come off cleanly.

• NOTE* - You WILL NEED a Torx wrench to replace the speaker ($4 at home depot)

For re-installation, simply backtrack. Make sure all your electrical connections are solid and the door is connected securely to the door. Attach the door, put screws back in, put handle plate back on, and you're set. Hoped this help, I know I needed this when I took off my door panels.

Local salvage yard. Same year Camaro would be the same.

remove the screw in the cluster( door handle, mirror, locks) careful though some of the screws are just "dummies" youll know it is if it starts stripping out. remove the big handle ( should be about two or three big screws under it and on the side where it mounts). when you do that you should be able to pull things a little better. the tricky part is getting the lock rod out of the manual lock part.but once you get it out, the door panel pops right off.
