Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to remove the door as well as put the door back on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this is a 13mm socket and ratchet with an extension, a jack, a flat blade screwdriver, and an assistant is recommended.

Pull back this cover, and just pull your harness out a little bit so that you know you have some slack. Then get your jack, and place it right underneath the center of the door. Then remove these four 13mm bolts. You really want to leave in one bolt at the bottom and one bolt at the top just a couple threads in so that it will hold the door in place, but you can quickly remove them. Have an assistant hold the door, and once the door is secured, then just remove those last two bolts and slide the door back and out. Then pull your harness the rest of the way out of the side of the car. Once you have the junction block out, there are two black tabs on either side. You press those tabs in and the white lever should swing around. Then the harness is disconnected. Then you can pull your door right off.

Tranfser over the hinges, and just pry this hinge back so you can access these two 13mm bolts. Then just do the same with this hinge down here.

Now put your door back on the jack, and then reconnect the harness while your assistant holds the door steady. Just close that lever back down to lock the harness. Then feed the harness back into the side of the car and then pull your door closer and line up those hinges.

Then replace those four 13mm bolts and tighten them up. Push the harness in the rest of the way. Then take this rubber boot and just push it back into the side of our car. Once it's pushed in all the way you're all set.
