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.

+1 rep for you. The first time is always the worst time taking off door panels because you don't know the tricks. This will help me immensely when I do mine. Thanks!

 

Nice job!!

 

Nice Post. I don't see myself taking my door panels off anytime soon, but good to know that it is here.

 

Very Nice Job .. And Documentation !

 

Great post!

I have a question, how did you get the triangle (mirror adjustment switch) cover off?

Thanks

 

Easy. Pull out from bottom of triangle, then slide straight up.

 

Rep points for you!!!!!!!!! Awesome job!!!!

 

Well done! Anyone have a link to an illustrated basic DIY for the engine air filter and cabin air filter?
