I need to get behind the forward edge of the door panel on the inside of the sliding door on my '84 to access the stem of the door handle. It's loose and feels mainly like the bolt is coming out. Or it may be cracked. Visual inspection is called for. I recall that the clips on my '71 aircooled bus had rusted badly enough that removal and re-attachment of the panel was iffy. Are there any "gotchas" I need to be prepared for when I go to open this patient? -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Westrailia: (Ladybug Trailer company, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.)
