FRONT DOORS, Cont.:

There is a spot to grab at the bottom of the panel, at the outermost corner from the door.



Give it a good yank, and the clips holding the door panel in place will give way. Work your hands up the side until the popping stops.



The only thing really holding the door panel to the door at this point is the attachment inside the top of the door (where it meets the window). Gently lift up to lift it off of this attachment point – but don’t go walking away from the door with the panel just yet.



Reach in and disconnect the wiring harness, as shown below.



You will now be left with two cable connected to the door – these green and white connectors shown below. One controls the door handle operation, and the other controls your door locks, so remember what order they’re in (mine was white on top, green on bottom). Disconnect the cables.




Now you can see the white pins that “popped” when you pulled on the door panel. See those black gasket/o-ring things? They may stick to the door instead of your door panel when you pull the panel away. Collect them off of the door and put them on the clips themselves for re-installation.



Here’s the metal clip (one of several) that run along the weatherstripping. This is what gets clipped in FIRST when you’re reinstalling the door panels.



That’s it for the front doors. To reinstall, simply reverse the order!
