i have ordered new door panels for my 67 and was wondering what steps i need to take to change door panels i have done several in second gen birds and was wondering if they are basicly the same procedure.
they are the deluxe door panels if this makes any differance

Window handles need to come off, these are attached with a little clip which can be a pain in the a$$ to get off unless you have a special tool. You can get that at the car shop. Once all handles are off just click 'm off with a screw driver.

IMO, they are eaiser than second gens, and s/g's don't fall in the difficult catagory--at least for me.

Are you replacing deluxe door panels or standard ?

Because if you are replacing standard with deluxe then you also
have to change your window reg. because the gear the window handles clips onto is longer on deluxe.

At least thats the way it was on my '68

my are deluxe from the factory so i am replacing deluxe panels, they should be here on tuesday so if the weather is warm i will try to tackle them.
i have the window crank removal tool so it should be preatty easy then i will keep you posted if i run into any problems

don't forget the screws that are in the bottom of the panel, hidden in the carpet. I think there are four, it's been a while since I pulled a panel.

Just remove the screws 2 or 4 (mine had 2), then get in behind the panels and pry off the plugs from the receivers in the door, they may be a bit "petrified" if they are old, and break, but easily replacable. window crank off, pull the door lever out a bit and lift the whole panel up and out from the window lip. Ive done it a few times in the past few months while adjusting the convert top frame...not to hard..

thanks would have missed the screws on the bottom
