Can anyone can tell us the proper way to remove the panel keepers on the doors?? Without messing up the panels themselves.
Thanks in advance

if you mean the plastic panel push clips holding the perimiter of the panel to the door
push to one side of the hole, tilt a bit and rotate, the gap in the round head should allow it to jump the hole and rotate out.
use the same method to get the new ones in

before you remove any clips from the panel note the colors of the clips,
as there can be 3 (THREE) different kinds of clips white or black..2 of these may different length white clips
the clips are different so I would suggest to order new clips for both doors,
you may wind up replacing most of them if you have dark door panels and the car has seen a lot of sun.
NAPA and other auto parts stores dont have the correct clips they are just small enough to not grip well, get some from our vendors.
Once you see one of the clips you will understand how it takes a screwing motion to insert and remove them
