remove door panel?

What would be the steps to remove the inside panel for a '84 Delta 88. It would be rear drivers side. Special tools?

Looks like you have no replys. Hmm, I was an autobody repairman, so to me most panels come off like this: remove door handle, window cranks, arm rest. There is a special too but a screw driver will do. There is a horseshoe looking clip which you will see by lightly pry the panel from the handle/crank. Press down on the open end of the horse shoe, becarefull, she will fly. Look around the outer-edge of the panel, there will be clips/screws. Again special tool, screw driver will do, slowing prying the clips from the door frame. Once you have every thing off, you need to have window down too lift panel upwards to remove off of panel clips ontop of panel to door frame. (If you have electric windows?, then it's amatter of discontecting wires behind panel).
Take your time, and becareful removing clips not to ruin clips or panel.

It should have the same horse show clip, just lightly apply pressure to the door panel to take a peak behind the handle. the clip is wrapped around th inner part of the handle. Be careful, again, while removing, once applying pressure to the top of the clip, it will pop off.
