Side Panel Removal

[imported_person5323]

Hi OK I haven't posted in a while but now I have a 1997 HX and I need to take off my outer side molding/panels, whatever. It is the only thing left that rattles in my car so I want to fix it but I can't figure out for the life of my how to get it off. I know this is a stupid question so someone help!

Thanks!

THe door panel, I need to get mine off also, and the one behind the back seats to install new speakers.

do you mean the panel on the inside???? you need to be a little more specific before I can answer the question or be any kind of help

Rear side panel removal: fold down rear seat, remove bolts connecting seats, remove seats, take the panel and push it toward the front seat so the plastic comes loose enough to take it off the pillar. they are just clipped in so be careful not to break anything. drink beer, you deserve it.

Front side panel removal: pull back door lever, remove screw behind lever, look at the door handle, theres a screw down there remove that too, take off speaker grille, remove three screws from that, take off speaker, pull on door panel, it will come off with a tug, it is just clipped in as well so be careful. drink more beer. oh and this is for 96-00 civics, not sure on other gens, but it cant be very hard so just use your brain. not responsible for lost or broken clippies, dont say i didnt warn you.
