Could someone post instructions on how to remove door panels?

Thanks!
Here is a good post on the subject via the G8 board. I would not imagine the caprice would be much different.

There are a few screws you remove and then you pull. One of the simpler panels I have ever removed.

Yeah, the most difficult part is trying to get the upper part to come loose from the window sill. I had difficulties with it, window up, or down. I was pulling the back door panels to reconnect the inside door latches, and actually ended up just reconnecting one side by going up under the door panel after unhooking it from the window sill proved to be an issue.

For those of you who have replaced the door speakers, are you somehow putting generic 6.5 inch speakers into the factory housings or are you buying speakers that are specifically made for the Caprice/G8?

I did a set of Polk component 6.5" speakers in the front doors/dash and a set of Kicker 6.5" coaxials in the rear door. I didn't do the fronts, but the rears needed zero modifiction.
