I"m having the audio system in my 928 completely redone because nothing in it works at the moment,

Does anyone know how to remove the door panels and the rear quarter panels in the 79' 928 in a friendly manner??

Rixter, the door panels were no problem but I have never been able to get the rear panels out. Is there a trick?

Thanks

this is how I do it, I'm sure there are other ways
unbolt rear seat uppers and remove along with side panels
unscrew rear pass handles
unbolt bottom of front seat belt
unscrew panel at floor by rear seat bottom
unscrew seat belt rose at top
unscrew panel at rear by tool panel
unscrew L brackets attached to bottom of panel along the hatch floor
there are clips along the top edge of panel along the rear windows so be careful like with door panels
after that it will come out with some slight encouragement
the above process assumes the panels have not been removed prior and replaced using other types of screws, bolts, tape (found this in a couple cars) glue etc by previous owner(s)
all in all takes about 15-30 minutes, please note that over the years the panels shrink, warp and really stick in tight along the curves
did I miss anything? someone chip in if I did,
