Subject:Sliding door inner panel removal -- any gotchas?
From:Rocket J Squirrel
Date:Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:51:50 -0800

I need to get behind the forward edge of the door panel on the inside of
the sliding door on my '84 to access the stem of the door handle. It's
loose and feels mainly like the bolt is coming out. Or it may be cracked.
Visual inspection is called for.

I recall that the clips on my '71 aircooled bus had rusted badly enough
that removal and re-attachment of the panel was iffy. Are there any
"gotchas" I need to be prepared for when I go to open this patient?
