Anybody know how to remove the left rear door panel from a 2001 Buick Lesabre?  It doesn't seem normal (doesn't have the plastic christmas tree fasteners).  Do I need any kind of special tools to remove the door panel?  The Hanes manual shows the old style doors and they aren't alike.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.  MJD

On 1990 buick, instructions are as follows:

1Remove door handles
2remove door inside locking rod knob
3 remove screws inserted thru door armrest and pull andle assembly
4 styles w/ remote control mirrors, remove mirror esctcheons and disengage end of mirror control cable
5 on styles w/ power window located on door, d/c wire harness at switch
6 remove screws and plastic retainers from perimeter of door trim pad using a special tool and screwdriver.  push trim upward and outbard to disengage it from the door inner panel at the belt line
