help removing door panel

[stevo]

OK the stupidest thing happened to me on the weekend....
I go to open the driver side door, my thumb slips off the button to open the door and the dang door button falls in the door.
So any tips on removing the door panel on a 69 RR so i can fix the door handle....

thanks again!

take the window crank off w allen key, take the arm rests off, and carefully pop the panel off.

remember that the tar paper is in there for a reason. can be replaced with plastic sheeting if paper is beyond help. remove very gently and can then find button

It is held on with spring clips. I use a ridged putty knife and a rag between it and the paint.
