Help! 74 t top door panel removal?

[retired ralph]

My Chiltons manual does not show 1974. I took off the lock, handle and pull strap. Also unscrewed the fore and aft brackets. Won't budge? What else do I have to unhook. Thanks Ralph

Please throw your Chiltons on the fire. The heat it provides will be the best use you'll get out if it. Buy an AIM from anyone of the vendors.

There are a series of giant mutant velcro attachments between the door and door panel at the bottom. Just pull firmly

You also need the GM 1974 Chevrolet Passenger Car Service Manual - it has a huge section on "Corvette Body" that's chock-full of procedures, photos, and illustrations. Throw the Chilton's and Haynes manuals in the trash (or burn them as Mikey suggested).

The door panel has to go up and out, not just straight out.
