Door replacement help

Okay so my doors are dented and I'm going to replace them its gonna be cheaper than fixing. But i need to know, to remove a door and add another will i need to prove panels to get to the electrical wiring so i can disconnect it? And also will keyless entry still unlock it or will it not cause the door is different?

It depends on what type of door you buy.

If you buy the complete door assembly with glass, lock motor, window motor, etc all you have to do is disconnect the harness under the rubber tube (when you open the door and it connects to the car) and simply take the door off the hinges (or remove hinges).

If you buy just the door minus the motor, glass, etc you'll have to move it over.

It's not very complex, just a bunch of screws. It should take about 2 hours per door to move stuff over.

Whatever you do, make sure to ha d the door by yourself!!!

No, seriously, if the new door doesn't come with any of the elections, panels, window, just swap it all over accordingly...

Also, make sure to get a door from the same model year, given you can, or at least do your to make sure they match...

Best of luck!!!

And get help to hang the door properly...
