Sometimes the clips break because as they get old, they get brittle. They are easily replaced. But let the pdr guy do it and watch him. If he's good, he's probably done quite a few similar. But if he breaks a few, don't panic. If you want old ones, just call guys like Garold or bdstone, they have probable held aside a few dozen from cars they've parted.
We had a pdr guy come and do a couple cars in the shop. He really did work magic. He had a good eye.
Thanks. Appreciate the opinions, guys. I suspected the view might be to let the PDR guy do it. I'll likely do that although I may take an hour some Saturday and check out the door card to see if I have the nerve to give it a shot. The panel has been off before as the original owner replaced a window regulator himself. I'll let you know how it goes.

Steve,
I've got a spare set of new door panel clips from 914Rubber and nylon tools that I used to pull mine. Since we're around the corner from each other let me know if you decide to do this some Saturday. Happy to lend a hand and say hi in person vs. a wave from a bike!
Also, let me know if you find a good PDR guy in town. I've been trying to too. Last guy recommended to me was a no-show and it turned out he was in jail... so yeah, looking for someone else...!
Oh, and I have my car on the road! So watch out for another red 'teener in Buckhead.
Joe
