How to remove XL door panels

What's Up!

I am pulling off my two perfect no rust white doors before the totaled van goes to a guy needing the engine/trans.

I took what I saw of the screws off and the panel does not slide up to remove.

Are there any clips holding the panel to the door. I'm giving the passenger panel to my sister for her van and need to get it off.

Also, anyone in the MI/Ohio area looking for perfect no rust doors minus one passenger panel. I'll give a good deal!

Doors are white w/grey panels.

Yes, there are plastic rivet type fasteners that hold the panels to the door frames. If you pry around the edges of the panel, you can feel where it does not want to come up. That's around where the rivets are. You can get an upholstery tool from your local auto parts store to pop them out of the door without damaging the panel. The tool is like a flat sheet of steel about 2 inches wide, with a slot in the middle. You slide it under the panel around the rivets and pop them off.

If you don’t want to take a chance damaging any part of the panel(s), get the removal tool.
