Changing the Door Panels
The steps that we have outlined below will lead you through the proper process of replacing the door panels of your car.
Prepare the Work Area
Disconnect the battery’s negative connection, which is black in color. Cover the seat and the steering wheel with a piece of fabric to protect them from harm. This is an optional step.
Release the Door Panel
Remove 2 screws from behind the door armrest using a screwdriver. 9 plastic clips are hidden under the door panel’s borders. One of the clips is distinct from the other 8. Using a trim removal device, pull away the door panel from the side nearest to the hinge. Every clip should pop out. Working from the bottom-most door panel to the door’s end, remove the clips. Support the door panel securely from 2 opposite ends after the clips have been released. Remove the door panel by lifting it up and gently pulling it outward. There are connections attached to the panel, so do not rip it off.
Take Out the Door Panel
The door lock cord is located towards the middle of the inner door panel. To remove it from the panel, lift it from the activator latch. Behind the panel speaker is a little connecting component. To unhook the latch, put a pick in the connector’s vacant slot. The connecting component should then be gradually pulled out. Finally, 2 light blue connections are inserted into the door frame component. Unhook every connector with the pick and carefully take it out. Take out the door panel and place it aside once all connecting components have been disconnected. Follow the instructions above in the opposite order to reinstall the panel.
