The way the side door panels of the Chevrolet Express are secured can vary depending on the model year and setup. They can be fastened with either snaps or pop rivets. When dealing with snaps, applying moderate to firm pressure with a sturdy pry tool (wood or plastic recommended to prevent damage) should release the panel with minimal effort. On the other hand, if your panels are attached with pop rivets, you will need to carefully drill out the rivets to remove them. Some drivers opt to replace the rivets with threaded inserts and screws for future convenience, but you can also simply use new rivets. While this process can be time-consuming and requires precision, once the rivets are removed, the panels should come off easily.
