Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior taking door panels off.

Hi all I was wondering do you guys know how to take off the door panels or does anyone have a link to show how. I got something that I wanna do to my door handles. thanks in advance

Yeah give me a lil to write it up for you ;-)

you can see how in this installation guide: ecelica.com: speaker installation

although you may not be doing speaker installation..the beginning of this guide deals with taking off the door panel and it will adequately show you how to do so

sorry floydian...but an extra writeup won't hurt one bit!

there are two plastic covers on the hinge side of the door that cover two hinges. There are I belive two screws (might be three) on the bottom part of the plastic door panel. The next thing you need to do is pop off the power mirror controls (gently pry) and unplug the small harness in the back. Then you have to pop the little plastic piece behind the door handle off, also just prys up. The final screw is behind that. Now you have to just gently lift the door pannel up and take it off! It might be better to put down the window so that you don't scuff the glass by accident.

yeah I knew it existed, but I couldn't remember where I saw it.

its all good...i'm sure he won't mind having an extra guide to help

btw, you can find almost ANYTHING in the installs section. most of that stuff deals with 90% of everything you want to do because it is so inclusive (even if the install was meant for something else..it can usually guide you at least part of the way with another project)

thanks for the posts guys. I will see if what I want to do is feasible or not. Thanks for the guide.
