How do you remove the door panel of an 1998 Acura Integra GS?

Answer 1

As far as I know, it is no different than it is with any 94 - 01 procedures. First, remove the black plastic cover that is right where mirror controls would be if they are not electric (interior side behind mirror). Next, remove the plastic screw-like mechanism that needs to be unscrewed then carefully pryed out. You should use a door panel removal tool but if you are careful, a screwdriver will work. Next, there are I think 6 or 8 plastic clips around the whole door. Start where the window meets the door by the side with the lock. Carefully pry your way around the door. If an aftermarket stereo was installed, you may need to watch for double sided tape or something of that nature as well. After you beak it loose, you'll want to remove a Phillips screw that goes down into the handle you use to close the door. Pull that out. If you do not have power windows, you need to go through a small procedure to remove the handle from the windows. After this is done, you need to start pulling the door upwards because there is a lip on the back that rests and locks down into the door. If you do have power windows and locks, you need to do this first so you can pull the panel away so that you can unclip the harnasses from the locks and window controls. I hope this has been helpful.
