Volvo Repair: replacment of door panels, volvo 740, clearance issues


Question
I have a 1989 Volvo 740 Turbo Intercooler sedan. The existing door panels are either cracked or broken (map pocket area). I have purchased door panels on ebay and wish to replace the existing with the ones I purchased. How do I go about removing and replacing them.

Answer
all models are diffent but they are all pretty similiar.  There is a torx head screw holding it to the door near the handle, and that is the only screw.  Other than that it is all clips that hold it on.  Start at the bottom and start pulling straight out.  Once you have all of the clips undone, pull the bottom of the panel out (for clearance issues) and pull the whole panel straight upwards off of the window lip.  After that just disconnect any connectors on the back for windows/mirrors/locks/etc.  If it turns out that i gave you the instructions for the wrong model let me know, and I'll be sure to correct myself.  Hope that helps.
