Default Door Panel Disassembly (2003-2007)

I've been thinking about dremelling too. I figured I could carefully dremel just the tips of the plastic stems off (the parts where is smooshes out to make the 'weld') and possibly pop the pieces right off.

When it comes time for reassembly, if enough of the stem is left intact I could then put some Permatex PermaPoxy plastic weld on them and slide the stems back in the little holes...let it cure and voila!

Since there's so much overlap on the pieces I could even go a little heavy on the PermaPoxy for added strength without much fear of it squishing out on the front-side and being visible.

The more and more I think about it, the more I think it is completely doable. I'll probably pop a rear panel off tonight to give it a closer look...I've been itchin' to lose those pockets anyway...I'd rather taken them off before someone breaks them off.
