So the dealer is going to remove the door panel on my car for a 2nd time on both sides. I'm wondering if they use those plastic clips/inserts that will snap off if removed etc. When a dealer or say an audio installer does work and removes a door panel will it go back together good as new?

Same goes for window tinting. never usually has a problem when removing the door panel when done by people that know what they are doing

Agree. Although a tinter should only need to remove the door panel if they are installing thick tint (I.e. 3M Crystalline). I always check after such work and the panels are almost never 100% back together from the dealer, body shop etc. Just push around the panel after such work is done and there is bound to be a clip that pops in place. Not an issue though.
