Door stop replacement on 2007 C70
OK I have searched the forums and cannot find what I am looking for so I'll ask. I am trying to replace the door stop (passenger side) of the wife's 2007 C70 hard top convertible.
I have the new part on hand and am trying to remove the door panel. I have removed the two screws from under the door grab handle, the one on the top right, the one on top in the middle (under the Air Bag plastic tab) and the one under the hand well. Any others? I can pry the panel off enough to barley see the clips but do not want to break anything so I am hesitant to pull too hard. I also have some concern about the air bag in this door. I have found some pretty good procedures (on line and here in this forum) for some of these doors but none quite match.
And the worst part is that I told her I would get it replaced as part of a birthday present to her and as she is out (in my truck) spending her Birthday money I was trying to get it done for her before she got back. But if I must I will relax with adult beverage and simply tell her it will have to go to the shop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Never mind got it! :-)
Had all the screws just needed to remove the side defrost vent cover, pulled a little harder on the cover then pull on door panel just below this cover and worked my way around the door...came off pretty easy. Unplugged everything and remove the large speaker in the door and replaced the stop and reassembled the door. Was installing the last little cover just as the wife pull up and now she thinks I am da Man!.
