Once the door panel has been removed and placed aside, the door handle linkage is marked and the plastic clip is opened up. It is important to mark the rod so that it can be reinstalled in the same position later. The rod is popped out of the clip and laid to the side.
Next, we need to carefully remove the vapor barrier from the door. This plastic sheet is very important. Without it the cardboard and other materials used in the door panel will eventually be ruined. After removing the vapor barrier, place it somewhere where it won't be disturbed or damaged. (Or thrown out like trash!!!)
