not spot welded, will be some bolts holding wing to a pillar under the arch liner plus one in the bottom of wing where it meets sill

There are also 3 bolts holding the wing to the door pillar. Also a ton of snot gumming it all together. You'll need to remove the inner lining first tho.
I (carefully) used a hot air gun to soften the snot/wax and remove mine.

Oh yeah. One underneath the sill and the one holding it to the bottom of the front panel. Mine was rotten in both places so non-existent. lol
