Anyone removed inner a-panel with outer a-panel left in place?
Suggestions.

Cheers
Trav.

it might be possible, but it'd me a major pain in the bum... you'll more than likely wreck the flanges on the old A panel trying to get the inner out

The inner panel flange is sandwiched between the outer panel flange and the fender flange. - so from the bottom of the window down to the wheel arch the seam is three layers with the inner panel in the middle - don't think it would be easy.

I think you will find after you the remove inner the outer will be just as bad I would be inclined to do both
