Default Door panel trim removal

I have a '91 S15 Jimmy in which I am in the process of removing the driver's side door panel. Can anyone give me specific instructions on where to pry on this trim panel I am pointing to in the picture to remove it? I've already broken one tab and don't want to break anymore! Thanks for any helpful information!

been a while since I've had me old blazer but I think that piece it permanently attached to the door panel, you remove the entire panel to get behind that.

You have a c clip holding the window crank on, then the push fasteners along the bottom then push up on the door panel to remove.

Once again this is if I remember correctly and may give you some ideas to try while waiting for someone who has worked on one more recently

He is spot on, just did the same to my 94 s10 blazer. Any autobody paint supply store or parts store will have the plastic clips. Don't worry. They are gonna break, nothing you can do about it. They are old and brittle. Pull crank and entire panel comes off as one

Thanks guys! You are absolutely right! I just pulled the window crank and had the entire door panel off in a matter of a few minutes.

Those "christmas tree" clips always break.. I was able to reuse about 25% of mine but had to pick up a few packs from the local O'reillys..

Default door panel trim

I can get mine removed easily. SOMEONE SCREWED IT ON!! But I can NOT find one to replace it. Mine has the curved front! All I can find is the straight. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
