Start:
This is the door
panel for a Kia Sedona, 2005 and later.
The arrows point to the 4 phillips head
screws that hold the door panel to the door
shell.
|
 |
|
 |
I pried off the plastic
cover that was next to the mirror.
This just popped off with a
bit of prying. |
|
|
This plastic cover overlaps
the door panel and must be removed for the door
panel to come off. |
 |
|
 |
Using a very
small screwdriver, I pried off the plastic cap
that was in the center of the door handle cover.
|
|
|
Then I removed the Phillips
head screw. |

|
|
 |
I pulled the door handle
outward and slid the cover off. |
|
|
Then I removed this Phillips
screw in the center of the door pull cup. |

|
|
 |
Down at the bottom I removed a
screw... |
|
...and another
screw at the other end.
|
 |
|

|
Finally, I used door panel
tool to pry the panel away from the metal door
shell. |
|
I pulled the
door panel straight up to separate it from the
door.
|
 |
|
 |
Before I could
completely remove the door panel, I had to
disconnect the wires from the power window and
door lock switches.
|
|
I also removed
this marker light by rotating it a quarter-turn
and pulling it out.
|
 |
|
 |
Then the door
panel was separated from the car.
|
|
Once the door
panel was removed, I could peel back the dust
cover (the sheet of plastic) to gain access to
the power window mechanism, the power door
locks, the door handle, etc.
