Remove 83 Grand Prix door panel

[pontiac guy]

So the GP's and their fancy "one of " door panels are the only ones where the armrest doesn't have 2 screws to remove and slides forward?

Because Pontiac is better, obviously.

I'm starting to learn how much "better" this car was

Everytime I do something to this car, I'm learning that everything is just a little different than every instructional guide or video on G Body repair

I just got a Fisher body manual for it

Of course my father (perpetual oddball he is) makes sure to get something obscure

Well, after much hacking and cursing, I got the new door motor in

Don't bother with a sheet metal cutter, or a hole saw like I did, I wanted to make nice clean holes, but the tools I'd bought didn't work out

It's hidden behind the door paper, not like anyone will see it

Windows so quick now I might not need a Racer

Your lucky there. I had to do new motor and Window Racer to get mine to operate faster than a snails pace.

You also have less drag right now since your inner door panel is not installed which would push the inner felt against the outer felt
