Start:
| The left rear door of a 2000 Dodge Durango. |
 |
|
 |
This small cover panel is removed by lifting it with a tack puller or small pry bar. |
|
|
Then we slid a small pry bar behind the plastic trim panel and pried it off. |
 |
|
 |
This upper trim piece is held on by a couple of metal spring clips. |
|
|
This is the clip that holds the trim to the steel door frame. |
 |
|
 |
We removed this screw at the top back corner. |
|
Hidden Fastener Alert:
There was a screw (red arrow) behind the door release handle. The handle needed to be pulled to reach the screw. |
 |
|
 |
There was a screw underneath the armrest. |
|
|
There were two screws down low at the bottom of the panel. |
 |
|
 |
Then we just lifted the panel upwards... |
|
|
... and pulled it away from the door. |
 |
|
 |
This connecting rod needed to be removed. |
|
|
We removed the connecting rod by simply rotating this black plastic clip. |
 |
|
|
We unplugged this electrical connector that runs to the power window switch. |
 |
|
 |
Then the panel could be completely removed. |
|
Extras:
|
The back side of the Durango rear door panel. |
 |
|
 |
The door handle. The handle is heat-melted onto the panel. |
|
|
The window switch is held in place with two screws. |
 |
|
 |
The plastic dust barrier can be pulled back to access the components inside the door, such as the power window actuator motor, the door latch, and the outside handle. |
|
|
The speaker can be removed with 3 screws. |
 |
|
 |
These clip legs hold the molded plastic door panel to the steel on the inside of the door. |
|
The tools we used:
A Phillips screwdriver and a tack puller. |
