How do you remove a door panel from an 2007 Chevy Cobalt?

Answer 1

hi, i have a 07 cobalt ls and replaced the door speakers and dynamatted the hell out of it. this is how i took the door panel out. first, there are 2 panel retainers on the outside edge of the door panel. they are real easy to take out. second, there are 2 sets of screws that are covered, the first is behind the door handle, there is a little notch, take a flathead screwdriver and pull the cover off, behind the cover there is one Phillips head screw you need to take out. the second set of screws are in the cup area of the door. again, there will be a cover you will need to take out. be careful not to break the tab your using a screwdriver on. there will be 2 Phillips head screws behind the cover that you will need to take out. ok that's all the screws and panel retainers that hold the door on, the last thing you will need to do is pull off the window cranks. (if your model has them) i bought a tool that takes window cranks off for 3.95. they are extremely cheap. you can also use a small flathead screwdriver to take the clip out. behind the window crank there is a metal u-shaped clip surrounding the crank. you just need to push it out a little bit. if you hold onto the crank, you will feel the tension break free. my model had 1 wire clip coming to the door panel that was extremely easy to take off. but my model just has cranks and push door locks. im sure there is more clijps you will have to take off on the lt,or ss
