Frank  & Paul,

It takes me 5 minutes to take out the door panel. Takes  another 5-10 minutes
to remove the connectors. I do use a power screw  driver to speed screws on
and off. I can't see your method being any  faster.

I also use a Snap-on connector remover. It's really nothing  more than a tiny
screwdriver which is flat and even on all sides. In a  pinch, I've even used
a paper clip while at a  junkyard.





Yes, all well and good  EXCEPT your not putting that door back together with
the plastic vapour barrier  correctly in place.   Your just getting the mirror
off and leaving the  door behind you !   OK, there are good reasons to do it
either way,  just depends on individual circumstances.

Cheers,
