I need to finish my Remote Starter\Alarm install whats holding me back is the door panels.

I do know how they are suppost to come off. IE... FSM and I could take the doors in my 93 Q34 down to metal in under 15 mins, but I cannot get the drivers side armrest to budge.

I have gotten a small scratch on the leather for every try and I dont want to have to recover it when I do the seats.

SO is there a secret to removing the armrest on the drivers side door on a 1994 Q45 or is it the same at the door panels in a 1993 Q45?

First time i did it they were very recalcitrant to move... What i did was take a screwdriver and gently pry up around the edges to kinda move it around a little... Loosen it up if you will.....

It slides back just like that.....

Thanx,

I was able to remove both front panels today.

Just pryed right behind the handle and they popped right off.So now I can wire up the factory alarm\keyless entry & remote starter\Alarm to one remote. Also I need to work on my rear driverside window.

Wes,

You still got that cooling fan blade? How much?
