What's the rush?

You have all winter to find a set of seats. I'd look at the Buick seats. Those are supposed to be comfy.

I'm not rush anything but this guy has a good deal for whole seats set of gp leather seats with 4 doors leather panels.

I have been search Ed Moard and other ebay. Mostly, they are torn and some of them sell like front seats only, 1 left front 4 doors panel or whatever. Believe me, I have been search them. Nothing what I'm looking for until I found this local Ohio guy who is 1 hour and 45 minutes from me. He is member of other gp message board. He says it is good seat so I believe his word for that.

Since I know how to remove the seats. Now I have trouble with door panels.

I removed the window trim, door light and 2 plastic tab with tool out. Now, I can't get it off. What cause problem? Do I miss anything else than what website write-up say?

I tried pull it up and nothing.

*edit*

never mind about door panels. I read old thread and some of them who remove that door panel do easy break. I don't want to break it. If I remove mine. It is broken. Then I see seller on this Sunday. He has it on door still. If I remove that too. It is break too. What is point? I don't want to have any "broken" parts.

All I want to match leather seat with leather door panels. Oh well. Cloth seat is fine with me. I guess I can deal with gay purple on my seat lol

I've had my door panel off four or five times now. I've been able to reuse the clips with no issues. But the next time I might wanna replace them all.

Damn that's crap. I don't want break anything on this door panel. Not worth it at all.

I have thought about getting 04+ grand prix seat. I like black leather seats but Ed has torn one. But it is not going happen because I need to do wire crap on driver power seat which I don't want to mess with it. I wish driver seat don't have any power on it. It is stupid. Is I'm only one hate power seat? It was slow as hell to move it around. I rather no power seat.

I'm going to junk yard this weekend to get red light that I broke since they have many of them.

I'm going to do the "homework" on this junk car to see if I can remove them without damage. If I can do that then I will give a shot. If damage then oop... at least it is not my car and head my way laugh

UMM I know your problemm lol.

Behind the door handle (inside) there are two pop off covers behind it .. two torx screws are holding the panel in place. Those have to come off , they can just fall to the bottom of the panel as they'll fall out when you get it off. Also .. you dont need to remove the trim its unnecessary.

I too have removed them four or five times now (speakers, painting ETC) and have yet to 'break' a pin smile Good luck palsut

I actually removed that too last night. It was on write-up from this link. That's all I did for remove light, window trim and 2 plastic plug with 2 screws out. Now, I get some answer that I will have some "damage" clip which it is kind scare me away. Like I say I'm going try it out on junk car for "practice". wink

Dude, you're not reading what I'm saying. It seriously will cost you 5 bucks and 2 minutes of your time if you break one of the crappy plastic clips. They sell the stupid things at Autozone for next to nothing. They slide right out if you break one, and the new ones slide back in.

Is plastic clips stuck with door panel? Like example gray part snap off that cannot fix? I don't know what clip are we looking for. From this picture all I have seen white clips.

Do you have part # for clip so I can know what kind of clips?

*edit*

there is other write-up for remove door panel. It says I need J 38778 for remove the clip. That's gm tool. I guess I will ask gm about that.

K but what i'm saying is that you can't physically take off the panel without taking out those two screws lol
