Prius 2016 4th Generation: How to remove door panel

[@DanielGaylord-x6u]

Thanks so much for this! I was able to replace the mirror on the passenger door with NO problems - mostly due to your excellent video!!

[@WonderfulWanderingTopics]

Thanks for doing a Prius 4th gen video. We need more people doing videos on the 4th gen

[@taylorbob11]

Thanks for the detailed video. We had to replace a passenger side mirror (housing and cover) on a ‘22 Prius, and your step by step instructions were perfect. Entire process took just 20min. Also, ordered a plastic tool kit off Amazon for $7, which is what’s needed to do the job properly.

[@skeeterm0079]

Thank you for making a video for the 4th gen this really helped me out

[@nickhahn5412]

[@ef_danielsan]

I guess I should have made more videos. back in the day. I don't have the car anymore.

[@chanovillalobos972]

@@ef_danielsan we as consumer's just consume consume consume but not you you looked on KZbin you couldn't find what you was looking for so you figured why not make a video i appreciate it I'll try and make an effort when I come across something I can't find

[@MrAbecoring]

Thanks! Was a big help!

[@terb7676]

can u show a video how to take apart center console so i can get to usb cables

[@stevenpoon4106]

Can you make a video of how to remove the Prius 4th generation steering wheel?

[@charleswhsu]

Are there any differences in removing the BACK door panel? Do you have a similar video for doing the back door?

[@stanislavsmetanin1307]

Thanks, needed for instruction. Now I have it. 😀👍

[@albertop290]

Gracias por tan buen video yo necesitaba cambiar un espejo del pasajero en el Toyota prius 2016 y fue tan fácil después de ver tu video y hacerlo al mismo tiempo fue fantástico como lo pude hacer con tu video te felicito Muchas gracias.

[@desmondthang6759]

I just bought the Prime last month and wondering if the door panels can be removed using your method?

[@roadddog53]

Desmond Thang most all toyotas have the same screws on their doors so it should be the same. Ive sat in a Prime at the dealership and it looked pretty much the same on the interior. good luck! it's easy once you do one door. the panel poppers make it a lot easier but probably not necessary.

[@cJeremy]

do you think I can take my Prius to the dealer and tell them the door rattles too much and ask them to fix it? just got a prius a month ago...

[@ef_danielsan]

Jeremy C. Of course. The technicians usually just take it apart and apply insulating foam onto the panel. It's like a roll of tape they use.

[@Alex-qe2lf]

thanks for the video Daniel. I used to pay a kid to install a usb outlet toward the bottom front left of all my new cars. this keeps my charging wire short and clean to the phone in a holder at the bottom left of my windshield. I plan to do the installation myself this time with the new prius17. Have you got any suggestions on a 12v electrical source near that area? Alex

[@jasonleung8443]

i took mine out but i have very hard time putting it back. Look like it wont want to go down the rubber gap.

[@ef_danielsan]

you can pull the window seal off the door and put it back onto the door. in this video, this passenger door had the window seal come off when I pulled the door off. you can slide it off the panel, put it back on the steel frame first. then snap the panel back on.

[@ef_danielsan]

at 6:07 in the video I lift the panel off and I'm gripping the window seal in my fingers. that slides off like a windshield wiper. sideways. when you slide the whole thing off, snap it back onto the steel door frame first. then the door panel goes on easy. you'll see tabs that snap into the rubber window seal.

[@jasonleung8443]

Took me 5 hours and i finally got it in!!. I think the weather seal is part of the panel. I have to use pretty good amount force to push it down.

[@jasonleung8443]

Thanks for the reply man. i saw your diy video at priuschat.

[@ef_danielsan]

+Jason Leung I'm so sorry it took that long. lol. how'd the other door go?

[@FL402]

Thanks for the video....did you change the speakers? any video on that...thinking of changing mine...thanks in advance

[@ef_danielsan]

Francis Lago that's why I took the door off. Speakers are easy, but I would buy some universal brackets for them from Amazon or Crutchfield. It's just 3 screws and 2 plugs once the doors are off. No need for any tutorial.

[@FL402]

Daniel Yang ok cool thanks a lot

[@rdmoore55]

Did the speakers you ordered fit? and if so, how big were they? or what speakers did you use? thanks

[@roadddog53]

I just plugged in the year make and model into the Crutchfield site and it came up with parts that would fit my car. I compared prices to Amazon and it was pretty close, so I just ordered from Crutchfield because they also include adapter rings, wire harnesses, etc. Stuff that I would have to all shop for separately and risk not having them fit when they came. I think it was literally $10 less per set if I parted everything out on Amazon. And after 30 years of receiving Crutchfield catalogs, I figured it was time to order something from them for once. LOL

[@roadddog53]

oh yeah, they're all Coaxial 6.5" speakers. Pretty sure I ordered RockFord Fosgate Prime 3 way in the front, 2 way in the back doors. In the dash, I bought Crutchfield's home brand, Sound Ordnance 3.5". I read somewhere on the Prius forums that Sound Ordnance is similar to Rockford Fosgate Prime speakers (which is RF's budget friendly speaker). Honestly, if you're paying under $100/pair, it's all pretty much the same thing, so it wasn't something I got hung up about.

[@hp5204]

Great tutorial!

[@AkumaQiu]

Thank you bruh

[@nickhahn5412]

Go raiders! Thanks for posting this! Im trying to dynamat my doors. Quiet her down a lil

[@wheein2176]

Thanks, man.

[@gomusicproduction1]

Thank you

[@tuopinionno]

Yours have the JBL Audio system right? I have it and the doors rattle too much with neutral base settings. What you didn't like about it?

[@cJeremy]

i have the JBL and my passenger side rattles even when the bass setting is 0~2 at maybe around 55% volume level... will you be taking your car to the dealer and ask them to fix it? I don't know if I should try or not.. it's just that I don't have much time. doing this on my own seems too hard for me...

[@ef_danielsan]

You can try to apply sound deadening material to the door panel and around the metal as well. That will help for sure. Dynamat. You can also buy some bass blockers that are essentially passive equalization that will cut out the lower frequencies , as long as you have some sort of a sub woofer to compensate.

[@cop2506]

With all that insulation, you'd think the damn car would be quiet! So noisy inside

[@ef_danielsan]

I agree. At freeway speeds it wasn't easy to have a quiet conversation with passengers.

[@alemuhammad9074]
