Hi guys. I'm a newbie to the forum and just bought my girlfriend a 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe. We noticed that the drivers side door panel is falling off at the bottom, and before I take it off, I was wondering if there are any special clips or anything holding the door panel in, or if its just your standard "christmas tree" clips. Any help is appreciated thanks.

 

welcome to the forum. If you go to this site, it will show you they are u clips, not christmas tree type. chisheu.com or http://www.chisheu.com/life/node/11
If you go to a auto parts store and get the tool that looks like a wide flat ( est 1 in wide blade ) angled screw driver with a slot in the center, this will prevent damage on the panel like a regular flat tip that has less area to pull the clip out.
