There are many reasons a vehicle owner may want to remove their door panel. I removed mine to replace the door lock actuator but you may also need to work on the window motor or replace your speakers. This video shows the step by step process for removing the door panel without breaking anything. These same concepts apply to most vehicles but they specific truck used in this video is a 2007 Toyota Tundra.

Thank you VERY MUCH for this! My local dealer wanted to charge me ~ $200 to replace a broken door check and with this detailed video I was able to do it myself in ~20 min at a cost of less than $30 bucks... You are a life saver Sir!

@@TightWadDIY In my case it is a 2012 Tundra so the electrical connections were a little different. I was going to replace my speaker because I thought it was blown. I have after market speakers and what I found out was that the rubber weather strip around the speaker had come off and the metal housing of the Speaker was vibrating against the cover, the speaker was fine. I replaced the rubber weather strip and problem solved. Fortunately I was able to return the speakers. I explained just in case someone else might have this issue so they can check that before buying new speakers.

Hey bud I did this same process to fix the door check that had broke. All went well with the fix but now when I lock the truck all the doors lock except for the drivers side. I made sure the connect the cables correctly. Have any idea what might be the issue? Door works and open and closed just fine. Just doesn’t lock and the key won’t turn if I try to lock it manually

@TightWadDIY 2 жыл бұрын

Are you sure you lined up the key hole part properly? I did that wrong at first too and it caused problems.

@GiaHuyNguyenAtlanta Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video, it's very informative. But I have a problem with my driver side door internal. There is a pull rod inside the door that has a hook, hooking onto the door frame, is broke off the hook, so every time I try to close the door, it is making a very loud noise. How can I replace that rod ? Is it easy to replace? and what is the cost? Or must I bring it to the dealer to have it replaced ? Thanks

@TightWadDIY Жыл бұрын

I’m really sorry but I don’t know how to replace that part. I would have to take my door panel off to look and I won’t have time to do that any time soon.

I need to remove mine soon to replace the cover. I’ll make a video. Maybe look for videos showing how to replace the upholstery. They’d also show how to remove the lid.

I have telescopic tow mirrors on my tundra. I have to pull like a bear to get the passenger one to extend.....the driverside is a no-go. I almost pull the truck over on its side. Do you have any insight on how to free it up? Ive dumped WD-40, and other lubes down insode it afteer taking it off the truck door. Have you ever encountered it?

@TightWadDIY 3 жыл бұрын

What year model? Mine is an 07. I just walked out and checked mine since I never really slide them out. The both moved fine with an average tug. Has your truck been in an accident? I could see where a slight twist in the mirror area would cause them to bind since there are two arms that need to be perfectly parallel.

I’m not positive, but it may be better to just give upward push instead of pulling out because it breaks the pins every time. I took off all four of my panels.
