Title: 68 Cadillac passenger door panel removal
Post by: mjd23 on May 18, 2021, 12:39:21 AM
Hi. I'm new to the club/ forum.  I recently purchased a 68 eldorado daily driver that needs some work.  I'm trying to remove the passenger door panel.  I thought I had all screws out and clips removed but it still seems to be attached behind the courtesy light.  Is there a way to remove the lens to expose a screw or screws?  Is there something else I'm missing?  It's a one piece panel.  Thank you for your help.

Hi Mathew,

I have a 67 Eldorado and took the entire interior out. I remember the screw you are talking about. I remember very gently prying the plastic lens from one end and it came out. You will probably have to take the bulb out to get at the screw. It's was surprisingly difficult to take the door panels off. I hope the 68 is a little easier. Good luck.

Thanks Jeff.  That was the key.  The lens popped out revealing the screws.  Lens is thicker than I would have guessed.  Anyways, thank you for the help.
