The door panel is hung from the top so if you are going to get it off
it's going to have to be from the bottom up. If you unbolt the seat you

The 95 was one peice I assume the 96 is also but can't say for sure.
Get the proper tool for popping the plastic grommets and you'll probably
want to pick up a package of them while you're at it.
