How do you remove the door panel on a 2000 Buick?

Remove the bezel around the door handle (pops out) disconnect power lock connector

Remove the power window switch (pry up towards front then slide towards front) disconnect connector

Remove reflector (pops out) remove 7mm nut

Stick fingers between door and panel and pop the push pins out, do not go go crazy here as you will break the door panel handle retainers.

Lift up on the panel, you will see a metal bracket that slides into two black plastic retainers if you are looking through the power window switch hole.
Disconnect speaker wires

Once panel is off, push in on the metal spring clips holding the black plastic boxes and slide off, re-attach to metal bracket on door panel(makes install easier)

Install is reverse

Hope this helps

I bought a used 2000 Buick LaSabre and almost immediately dropped another $400+ for a driver's side window regulator (installed). I contacted the original owner who stated he had to replace the rider's side regulator at the dealer's service dept for over $500. I did some after the fact investigation on the net and found that there are many Buick owners having the same problem with window regulators. I've got my old regulator with a good motor and will redesign the sucker to work without having to replace it every year or so, but it would be good to have the removal instructions for the door panel so I won't tear it up trying to get to the regulator. Any help or direction to info would be appreciated. Thanks
