Followed your instructions to the letter and everything worked out just fine! I did the passenger side. The only recommendation I have is when you put the screws back in don't over tighten. Otherwise thanks for your video I am mechanically challenged and successful!

Thank you! Replaced mine today. One caution. If the panel is notto be completely removed, support it. It stressed on another wiring anchor but it didn't break. If it had, no big deal. Also, I shorted the leads on the original and th e fuel door opened proving it was the activator and not the fuel door.

Yes, this was very helpful. Thank you very much. However, how do you take the metal piece off to fix the door handle for opening from the outside?
@TheInteriorAutoMechanic
@TheInteriorAutoMechanic 2 жыл бұрын
Once you remove the door panel, you will see the metal panel that the window motor attaches to. From what I can tell, you must drill out the pop rivets all the way around the metal piece to access the innards of the door. It's a poor design in my opinion, but that's how it's made. If you do not have the tools to drill out the pop rivets safely, I would highly recommend taking it to a mechanic to have them do it. It will need to be put back together with pop rivets again.

Hi Joshua, you will need to remove the door panel to give you as few headaches as possible when accessing your mirror. Technically you don't have to remove it but when it comes to removing/replacing the bolts it will make your life so much easier. The amount of time you will spend fighting the bolts out and back in could just be spent removing the panel and making the whole process easier.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask away. Good luck on your project!

You will most likely have to drill out the pop rivets that attach it to the door. I cannot say for certain because I never took ours completely apart. In my opinion it's a really bad design. I'd recommend taking it to a mechanic just to make sure you don't cause any damage.

My rear driver's side passenger door won't open from the inside or outside. Is there a way to disassemble the door panel when the door is closed?
@TheInteriorAutoMechanic
@TheInteriorAutoMechanic 3 жыл бұрын
Hi thanks for your question. Unfortunately the answer to your question is not going to be one that you're going to want to hear. More than likely you were door latch has frozen up. 9 times out of 10 you end up having to break the door panel to access the inside mechanisms of the door. You may get lucky and be able to remove the door panel without breaking it but most of the time it ends up getting broken. I would highly recommend taking it to a mechanic if you are not mechanically inclined just because this can be quite a task. Good luck on your project!

@TheInteriorAutoMechanic
@TheInteriorAutoMechanic 2 жыл бұрын
Your latch mechanism is jammed. You may have to take it to a mechanic and they can work on it. It may require removing the seat and attempting to remove the door panel, chances are it will break so be prepared for that. It's not the shops fault if it does, its just very tough to remove without breaking it without the door opening. Once they are in there they will have to gain access to the latch mechanism.
