1976 Eldorado Convertable (Need to know how to remove the door panels)

I've tryed looking online about the matter with no luck. Can anyone tell me?

I have removed the electrical from one side but do not know how to remove the top half door panel.

Backseat Armrest panels as well?

Many thanks for your help

At the bottom of the upper panel there is a chrome strip.  It will have one visible screw in it.  You take that screw out and gently tap the strip with a rubber mallet, or something similar, to move the strip lengthwise (I forget whether it moves forward or backwards).  Quickly, upon tapping it the right way, the whole strip will disengage.  Behind the strip lie the screws that attach the upper panel to the door.  Take these out, and remove the door lock knob, and work the panel upwards.  It will come off the hanging clips at the top and you'll be done.  This may be easier with the window down.
