Great vid, did the job in under 5 minutes. I didn't like what I found inside the door, not Mike's fault. But door comes off easy as hell

This was a helpful first step to removing my door panel. I don't need to replace my door panel, my window has popped off track. Do you have any advice on what to do after the panel is off? The motor still works fine I just have to manually reset my window every time I roll it up or down. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you for the video. How would I look for the small white clips on the panel you pop of? The triangle looking one.

You may need to replace the window regulator if it is broke.

The rear door panel should be fairly similar to the front one. We currently do not have an auto repair video on the rear door panel for this particular vehicle. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Thanks for not making us watch while you removed the phillips screws. That makes me crazy when the youtube guys make you watch them remove every screw and lug nut.

[katkopy]

On the first panel you remove on the corner the 3 clips. what's the name of the clips or how i order for my toyota. They already burned and broke when i put it back . Thanks:)

[Sergiote]

does anyone know exact size/thread of the Phillip screws that hold the door panel? or where to find that info?

[dcferwerda]

I wanted to see the inside of the door assembly.

1A Auto, I went to your website but I cannot find this part available. Do you sell it?
