I'm going to replace the interior door handles with Black Birds Eye Maple handles.
What's the best way to remove the door panel?
Just pull it off?
Any hidden screws or fasteners?
Thanks,
Tim

Tim... I think I am right about this... The handle covers just pull off. I am pretty sure this is right, I was also thinking about replacing my handles and on one of the websites I think my roadster.net said they snapped off. So you do NOT have to take off the door panel!!Hope this helps..It's just a COVER not the entire handle.You will see what I mean.

Thanks for the info!
That looks to be correct. I'm going to take pic's of the process. And post them when I'm done.

Tim,

Did you get those birdseye door handle yet, Intalled? Post some pict if you have them. Also, how much are they and do the door handles look the same as the color of the OE birdseye? Thanks...

f1vu,
I still haven't received them.
I have seen them on Arnee's car they look OEM, very nice.
As soon as they arrive I will install them. And post some pic's.
