I hate this too. I was looking for a dash and climate controls for my BMW. I finally found a 1985 e28 in the yard, but somebody trashed the dash and cluster to get the radio and the trip computer.

I think it is a matter of how much time you want to spend in the yard. When I take parts like the power window motors I needed, I spent the time geting the door panels off the correct way and used my time as a dry run on what I would be doing to my car. Most people would just crowbar the door panel off to save time. I also always shut the hood and doors of any car I am working on. You never know what else you will need an I want the interiors esp. to stay dry. I hate people who open the doors and just leave them open.
