How to Take Apart an LS 2000 Saturn Door Panel
- 1). Pry the side-view mirror cover off the top of the door panel with a slot-head screwdriver.
- 2). Turn the set screw located just above the wiring harness on the back of the side-view mirror cover in a counterclockwise direction with a hex wrench to disconnect the side-view mirror's control knob from the cover.
- 3). Remove the retaining screw from behind the door-latch handle with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
- 4). Slide the plastic panel located behind the door-latch handle towards the front of the door until it detaches from the door to expose the door-latch rod on the back of the plastic panel.
- 5). Push the blue-colored clip off the door-latch rod, where the rod attaches to the back of the plastic door-latch panel, with a slot-head screwdriver, then pull the rod upwards to disconnect it from the panel.
- 6). Slide a window-crank snap-ring tool between the window-regulator handle and the door panel, then rotate the handle until it is parallel to the window handle. Push the tool towards the base of the handle to push a hidden clip underneath the handle, which will free it from the door panel.
- 7). Remove both retaining screws from underneath the door-pull handle with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
- 8). Remove both retaining screws from the bottom of the door panel with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
- 9). Push the door panel upward approximately one inch to disconnect it from the door.
