Here's a general outline. Specific locations of screws and clips will vary slightly depending on the trim level and condition of your car. You should search online for a "1995 Chrysler LeBaron door panel removal" video or a repair manual specific to your year and model. Visual aids are invaluable for this process.
1. Remove the interior door handle: This usually involves prying off a small decorative cover (often with a small flathead screwdriver) to reveal a screw or two. Remove the screw(s) and then carefully detach the interior handle assembly.
2. Remove the window crank (if applicable): Similar to the door handle, there might be a cover to remove before accessing any fasteners holding the crank in place.
3. Remove the armrest cover (if applicable): This often involves popping off clips or removing screws along the edges.
4. Locate and remove screws: There are usually several screws holding the door panel in place. These are often found around the edges of the panel, near the armrest area, and sometimes under the door handle area.
5. Disconnect electrical connectors: Once the screws are removed, carefully disconnect the electrical connectors for the power window switch, door lock actuator, and courtesy light. These connectors usually have a small release tab that needs to be pressed to disconnect them.
6. Carefully pry the door panel away: Starting at the bottom edge, gently pry the door panel away from the door using a plastic trim tool or a flat, non-marring tool (like a putty knife covered with soft cloth). Work your way around the edges, releasing the plastic clips that hold the panel in place. Be gentle to avoid breaking the clips. There may be some resistance; it's better to work slowly and avoid excessive force.
7. Remove the door panel: Once all the clips are released, the door panel should come off.
Important Considerations:
* Clips: The plastic clips that hold the door panel in place are often fragile. Take your time and be gentle to avoid breaking them. It's a good idea to have some replacement clips on hand. You can usually find these at auto parts stores.
* Tools: Use the right tools. A plastic trim removal tool is highly recommended. A flathead screwdriver can work in a pinch, but it carries a higher risk of damaging the panel or the door.
* Patience: This process requires patience and attention to detail. Take your time and examine the panel carefully before attempting to pry it off.
Again, strongly suggest finding a video specific to your 1995 Chrysler LeBaron. The visual guidance will make this significantly easier and less stressful. Good luck!
