My '98 V-70 driver's door lock button is protruding through the door tilted. I assume a screw holding it in place has come out. I need to remove the door panel to investigate & repair. I don't have a manual. Does anybody know the steps for removing the door panel. I've read in previous posts that there are anywhere from 1 to 6 screws holding the panel in place. How many are there, where are they, what's the procedure?
Hey, looks like I'm not the only one! The same thing is happening on my front-passenger door. It's not interfering with locking/un-locking of the door, and it doesn't look too bad - so I wasn't going to do much about it. But in case you find out that it's REALLY easy to fix, I'll keep an eye on this discussion and might just do the same fix as you.
Yours,
Allan

Between you and Sven, I've now got VERY clear instructions on how to fix this problem myself.
What a great newsgroup this is! I happen to be a l-o-n-g time member of the 'Ventura Publisher' newsgroup which has always impressed me at being very professional, kind, courteous, etc.... Looks like there's yet another such newsgroup out there!
Thanks again.
