Correct Tool for door panel removal

1971 Ford F100 vinyl door panels-will the common tools sold at Harbour Freight remove these or is there a better tool to use considering parts for the reinstall are obsolete?

What common tools do you mean? They sell a lot of different tools. Do a Google search for 67 / 72 door panel removal and you may get help quicker . I have 4 different tools for panel removals , depends on the panel which ones i use.

I have seen, at Harbor Freight, a package of about 4-5 different tools for door trim and panel removal. One in there will work for trim, if your truck has the panel edge trim, and one will work for the door panel itself.

Worked on mine, removed, reupholstered and reinstalled without 1 broken or lost hole or clip.
