hello,
thank you for your excellent door panel removal diy
i have 2 questions about it :
1- i need to pull out my door handles to put new carbon ones. On your picture, i would say there are two screws for it (and not rivets) but i can't see very well. is it right?
2- did you use the old melted rivets or new ones for your new painted door pull covers?
thank you very much for your answer and sorry for my bad english cause i am a french man from paris

Hi - got some great painted parts from bumperplugs that I wanted to install, but couldn't find the documentation to remove the door panels for a 997. the 987 instructions are close, but different enough to cause a problem if you pry where you shouldn't.
So here we go, I tried to document with enough pictures for you to do by yourself.
As always, be careful and take precautions when working on your car and around airbags.

Gundo, could you please confirm if there is no need to purchase any items to be replaced if door panel gets removed? did you re-use all the hardware you took off?
I wanted to take down those panels to replace stock audio speakers but was not sure if my attempt to put those panel back will not end up with new rattles and squicks i currently do not have. Is there a chance to brake anything off if pulled too hard? What would you advice to be extra careful about?
