trouble in replacing a door.

ASSISTANCE Exterior
1

i bought a pair of doors because my current doors are badly damaged. I’m having problems in installing it.

  • i need to replace the door locks i need to put it to the newly bought doors.
  • I’m trying to figure out how to take out the electrical wirings/plug from the door to chassis.
  • i… didn’t know those rubber/bushing around the bolts of the car could be so important in aligning the car. though i can buy it.

hopefully i can get tips on these problems. especially the wiring stuff. THANKS!

The Main plug on the door can be pryed after pulling the pin off the door so you can open it further then just take off the rubber boot and pry it off with a flathead be kinda careful to not break the plastic apart. Then the door locks are simple take off the panels and just take off the two 10mm nuts and the hard Lines that are connected to the handle… The handle should come right out taking it out from bottom to top…itll give u a bit of a fight so slide it right/ left it should come out… let me know if you have any other questions or something im missing i can inform you ive done it a few times

just use a hammer to take out the pin and hit it from the bottom up it should pop right out then hammer it back down in when your done.

i find changin doors to b easiest if u take the fenders off and thers 4 bolts on the 2 brackets i think cant remember the exact amount but swapping and aligning the new doors is eaier than tryin to tighten the bolts the way ur trying

@spoon: i wonder which boot are you talking about? is it the one on the chassis? or the one’s outside the door close to the pin that you are talking about? coz there’s another boot inside the door itself and to access it, i have to take out the speakers as well.

@lsjdmteg: hehe, unfortunately taking out those fenders you have to remove the front bumper as well. well… that’s what i did. and also, silly me, i removed all those rubber around the hole coz i thought it was just a dirt that’ve been accumulated for 18 yrs. and when i tried to put back the door, its not aligned anymore. i guess there’s a place where i can buy those bushing… yea?
