Holy cow in the first 28 seconds you managed to answer a question ive been searching for all day

[clemsuitauloa]

I like this guys style, doesn't fk around, keeps everything simple. Short and sweet

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU. Omg you have no idea how many people I had to ask in order to get a solid answer. I have a 2003 Camry and I need to swap all 4 doors because they’re all rusted and broken. I looked up videos on how to remove a door and the person either cut the connector or unplugged it. I had no idea which I would have to do for my Camry and I couldn’t even reach the cable. Now that I know this older gen is just connected with a cable, I should be fine buying new doors. Thank you so much

1st gen Sequoia owner here, I can verify that this process is the same for me. Yall are life savers!

Excellent video! I felt super intimidated by replacing the doors on my RAV4, but this video demystified it a lot.

Thank you very much for the video teaching us how to do the door change. It really worked for me to switch to my 2000 Camry's car door. Greetings from Tijuana Mexico, take care and stay safe.

The easiest way to remove a back door with one person is to open it, disconnect the door catch and wire harness, shut the door, open the front door so you can undo the bolts on the back door while it's CLOSED, after that everything should be undone so you can grab the door from one side and open the door while holding the handle and it won't fall




If you're removing a front door I would suggest using a floor jack with a rag on it so you don't take any paint off the bottom of the door, undo the door catch, wire harness, the bottom 2 bolts and the very top bolt leaving the 2nd bolt from the top last, while you're undoing the very last bolt put a hand on the top of the door so it doesn't fall off



If you're in a junkyard that doesn't allow jacks, take the fender off and undo everything like I said to do for the back door

That is much easier than I would have expected!

[EddieG]

I did not know it was that simple. Hell yeah. thanks for this video guys. You rock.

[genuinsanity]

Glad I found this...if I can wriggle wire harnesses out ...im home free....but I want to lube power window tracks ....they seem dry from factory , shortens life and keeps cash coming in for certified mechanics and parts. I got original keys....dont really need to mess with locks Thanks for sharing ....save me major hassles .Im doing a Mitsubishi but they seem quite similar at glance .

[EquippingTheSaints]

Great camerawork!! Great info!! I'm going to do it EXACTLY like what you said. Thanks!! Great Vid!!

[jessewadon]

Awesome, thanks guys. Ready to head to the U-Pull yard now!

I'll be looking for a replacement door from a junk yard, so I'm looking into what I might need to get the job done.

1. Is it a good idea to get the junk yard dealer to demonstrate that the electricals (the actuator!) are functioning properly on the replacement door?

2. Do scrap dealers generally expect buyers to remove parts like car doors themselves? In that case I might need to bring an extra pair of hands🤔

Thanks for the video!

@5:33 Sir, could you tell, what is an approximate weight of that door? I've heard it is about 40-45 lbs, but my husband thinks it is about 120 lbs. We have 2009 Nissan Sentra, the door looks the same. Thank you for you film again, so many details, like that inner socket disconnected from inside. I saw another film where one person was holding the door in his arms while the author was disconnecting that socket. Your way is much more convenient.

Perfect instructions. Thanks a bunch.
