68 F100 removing door panels

[289kman]

Hey guys..
I'd like a little advice/experience on this one..I have a 68F100 Ranger and I need to remove the door panels to grease window tracks and fix a lock mechanism..
Im looking at the door panel and I know how the arm rest and window crank are removed, but what about the trim around the edge of the door panel? Does it pop off? or is it held with a screw of some kind? Or is it integral?
Anyone with previous exp, I appreciate the help.
Thanks!

i think they pop off,not 100% sure,but from the catalogs ive seen for parts,they have new push in clips for them,just go real easy and see?

The door panels do pop off. There is a tool designed to do this with. It's not hard to tweak and or bend the trim trying to find the attachment points the tool makes it easy and you won't hurt the trim. Plastic tools are on sale at Harbor Freight right now for $6 for a set. Good luck.

i use a screw driver to pry the trim off. just go slow and work around dont do it in one place all at once.

-or something like a wide putty knife. Best to get as much backing on the trim piece when you're trying to pop it off.
