It's been a while since I disassembled the door panel of my Buick Excelle, sharing some tips. First, prepare a plastic pry tool, a Phillips screwdriver, and a small bag for screws. Start from the door handle area—there's a screw hole hidden under a gasket, pry open the gasket and remove the screw. Hidden screws are also common in the armrest area; remove the decorative cover and pull it out. The key is to start from the bottom edge of the door panel, gently pry open the clips with the pry tool, and a 'click' sound indicates release. Work your way up slowly—avoid forceful pulling to prevent clip breakage. Pay attention to the wiring of the window control switch; locate the connector and press the latch to disconnect. The entire process requires patience to avoid scratching the panel. Once opened, you can clean dirt inside the door or inspect wiring. After repairs, reinstall it in the original position and ensure clips are securely fastened. Avoid using metal tools to prevent marks. Wearing gloves is recommended to prevent cuts. Beginners should first check the vehicle manual or watch tutorial videos for guidance.
