So what is the best way to get the backwards bolt out of the top door hinge? I'm guessing it just sucks to get it out, but I'm hoping somebody can tell me that if you whack the rear bumper with a BFH, turn the idle speed all the way up, and honk the horn, they will just fall out....:dunno:
 
It's actually not too hard at all, little time maybe, provided you have a 10" extension bar . . .

The bolt is right behind the rubber grommet with the wire for the door's courtesy light switch (usually a single white wire). On the pass. side, just open/dismount your glove box, on the driver's side you might have to pull out your headlight switch or something, just go in from underneath. Yank the rubber plug out, stick your extension through with a 9/16? socket on it, and it pretty much lands right on the bolt. Just be careful when pulling back out so you don't knock the socket off or drop the screw . . .
 
I kinda figured it would be something like that. You don't need to pull the metal dash piece to get in there?
